Authorities said they don’t believe the shooting was random, but stemmed from an isolated incident where multiple innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfire.

“We have reached out to our partners with ATF, the FBI, you’ll have a plethora of law enforcement agencies assisting the Birmingham Police Department‚’’ Officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

That was Officer Truman Fitzgerald who was cited in the article reference above who was one of the investigating officers to respond to the incident.  According to Fox News, no suspects have been arrested and the search is underway for “multiple gunmen”:

Two men and a woman were killed at the scene in the 2000 block of Magnolia Avenue in the Five Points South area near the University of Alabama at Birmingham, while a fourth victim died at the university’s hospital, the Birmingham Police Department told Fox News Digital via email on Sunday morning.
