2020 was a violent year in Birmingham. Alabama’s largest city suffered 122 homicides last year - the most in the last 25 years. There have now been at least 100 homicides in the Magic City in each of the last five years.
“2020 was a very difficult year. We were not only hit by a global pandemic, financial woes and civil unrest following the death of George Floyd,” Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said earlier this year. “There’s a fourth crisis that existed in our community in 2020 and that’s gun violence.”

Dr. David Hicks says most of the vaccination shots the county has been giving out in February have been for people who got their first shots last month.
