Investigating a Mass Shooting police say multiple shooters opened fire overnight on a group of people and one of the citys popular for Entertainment District four people are dead, 17 others injured. So far, no one is in custody. One witness describes what he saw everywhere, people crying and screaming same people who run and so it was very busy and it was a lot going on police believe it was a targeted hit on one person and the other victims were caught in the crossfire. Cnns Rafael Romo is in birmingham, a rafael police are asking for the publics help to find the shooters yeah, that is correct. Fredricka, somebody should have heard or seen something and police say that information may prove crucial to solve the crime cnn has obtained Video Showing what the scene was like here last night, just moments after the shooting before we go to the video, we need to warn our viewers. They didnt may be disturbing for some people you can see, the video captures the scene of panic and shows at least three people lying on the ground as Police Lights flash. In the Background Eat were discussing earlier how birmingham Police Chief Scott thurman described how this how his officers found around 100 Shell Casings here throughout this side of the shooting. And we also heard Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin talk about how Gun Conversion devices sometimes referred to as switches may have been used in the shooting here. At this area known as Fivepoint South near downtown birmingham, that would explain why police found so many shelter casings. Here after the shooting the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms says that such device can convert a semiautomatic pistols and rifles into full fully automatic, Automatic Weapons in less than 60 seconds. Birmingham Mayor Woodfin says, hes deeply concerned about what happened and sent his condolences to the families of the victims no words for that loss. Right. Trying to stand here and find words to describe those families and what theyre feeling right now, the anger, the hurt, the pain, the loss i will say this. We all of us as a community owe it to them to do everything we can to take these shooters killers off our streets the shooting itself, fred, we have learned that four people died and 17 others were injured. Three of the victims, two men and one woman were found deceased he wrote this cnn, another man died at the university of alabama hospital, according to police while they start now working for a group of individuals who arrived in a car here at the scene opened fire and fled. In the same car. So a lot of questions, a lot of Police Work that needs to be done, but theyre getting help from federal agencies as well. Fred and how are the injured doing police is that out of those 17 people who were also there are four who suffered lifethreatening injuries. So theres a lot of concern for them. The other we have been unable to get their condition because of privacy laws. But what i can tell you is that some people were taken to Hospitals Area hospitals in ambulances, but some others drove themselves to other hospitals. So at this point is difficult to know how the rest there are doing, fred. Alright, Rafael Romo in birmingham, alabama. Thanks so much. Earlier, a former Boston Police commissioner, ed davis, join me with his perspective on the investigation in birmingham and what the Shell Casings found at the scene can tell Police Atf has Computer System called Nine Emmys spent Shell Casings can be entered into that computer and its very helpful because it can tell you what other incidents that happened prior involve the same ejet to marks . So if you see a gun thats being thats being used at three separate shooting shooting similar usually similar situations. Theyre probably the same shooter. And its important to understand the bigger picture, not just the incident that happened, but what led up to it . Birmingham police, in addition to looking at any kind of forensic evidence, theyre also asking for the Publics Assistance in any way. What does this indicate to you in terms of a Starting Point or at what juncture are they in trying to locate these shooters . Well, its still very early in the investigation and it is hard to put things together immediately. But theyre clearly reaching out for help. They wanted to have people who saw this so people who might have video of it help them in identifying who was responsible the problem with a case like this is there are usually a lot of people involved. Its not just one shooter coming up its been described as multiple shooters and so you need to go get an id on each one of those individuals. And youll have different pieces of evidence. So public cooperation is vital a birminghams mayor said Gun Violence is at an epidemic level. In his city. He also had some choice words about Automatic Weapons on The Streets. Listen to what he had to say theres a certain element in the city. Theres a certain element in this community more to comparable ryan routh semiAutomatic Weapons Automatic Weapons, convergence switches, and Everything Else whos only intent hello, and ten is the harm people. Shell people kill people how do you interpret those words and how it can be used to take action to help lead to suspects or even quiet are calm . What is epidemic levels well, let me just frustration. I can i can identify with because i faced that exact problem when i first took over the Boston Police and we put together a strategy that targeted individuals. We got information from The Street as to who was responsible, and we made a list of those people who are involved mostly in the shootings and then we contacted them and told them we were coming for them. And then we use our federal Partners Dea and fbi to go after those individuals, not necessarily for the shooting. Sometimes for drug trafficking, sometimes for human trafficking. These people multi, multi offenders and you can get focused on whos doing it. You can get focused on them and get them out of the picture all right. That was former Boston Police commissioner, ed davis. All right. Happening right now and Eastern Kentucky Community is gathering at a high School Gym for the funeral of Judge Kevin mullins he was allegedly gunned down by his in his chambers on thursday by Sheriff Shawn stines. Investigators are still looking for a motive in the killing, but were now learning the two men had lunch just hours before the Shooting Circuit Court clerk, Mike Watts says he saw them shortly before noon on the day of the shooting. What describes mullins and stines as quote, joking around about national politics and then they went down The Street to eat lunch. Stines is facing a Firstdegree Murder Charge and is expected to be arraigned this week. All right.

Were following new developments in the middle east, Israel And Hezbollah today, exchanging intensifying Attacks Video shows the moment a rocket lands deeper into israel territory. While israel says it hit hundreds of targets across Southern Lebanon this weekend. And in beirut, a funeral was held for ebrahim aqil, one of hezbollahs most senior military figures. He was killed in an israeli Missile Strike on friday that also killed several other hezbollah commanders and fighters cnn senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman is in beirut. Ben, give us the update has been a very 20 busy 24 hours between Hezbollah And Israel starting just after midnight with the first of three salvos of rockets fired by hezbollah into israel. These rockets went further into israeli territory than Anything Theyve fired since last October Know in a statement, his butler said that they were targeting an israeli airbase and a Weapons Factory near haifa however as what weve seen from video coming out and reports of israel, it doesnt appear either of those were hit. The israeli military has yet to comment on any damage to that airbase. However, we understand and its several civilians were injured and there was damage to property in those areas outside of haifa. Now it appears that hezbollah may be trying to avoid hitting any sort of target that Might Precipitate a major israeli response. However, what were hearing is both sides, the rhetoric is simply heating up. We were today at the funeral of ebrahim. Okay . Hell and we heard naim qassam, whos the number two in the political leadership of his butler saying at that funeral, that the overnight salvos of rockets by his hezbollah On Israel were just the first installment in what he called a battle without limits. He vowed that hezbollah would continue to target israeli communities along the border. And that is hezbollah is not going to be deterred by these recent israeli attacks. Now israel, for its part, has been striking targets in the South And East of lebanon, almost 300 in a 24 hour period. Now, we heard prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu say that if hezbollah didnt get the message, i promise it will get the message and the message is obviously that they will israel will continue to target hezbollah until the Border Area goes quiet. We heard herzi halevi, who is the chief of staff of the israeli army, saying that israel will intensify its strikes on lebanon. So everywhere you look, all signs point to a further deterioration of the situation between israel and lebanon. Fredricka all right. Ben wedeman thank you so much all right. Lets talk more about this now. Frida ghitis is a Cnn Contributor and world affairs columnist. She has also contributing columnist for the washington post. Good to see you, frida. So it hezbollah restraining itself in your view in some way by not using its longerrange rockets that can hit even deeper. In israel yeah, if this is a very interesting confrontation, it doesnt look like either side is looking for an all out war. Theres always the risk that things can spin out of control. But for now, it looks its very clear that neither side is looking for an all out War Israel it has been very clear that its not looking to destroy hezbollah. Its not looking to crush its military capabilities, which are considerable. What israel is trying to do, and it has said that very, very explicitly. It wants his vola to stop shelling, to start launching rockets at israeli communities in the north and so far his byline is refusing to do that. They say that they will continue their their their assaults On Israel as long as the war in gaza continues, they show no no intention, no sign of aiming to stop their attacks On Israel, On Israel, as long as the war in gaza that continues. But israel has made a decision after almost a year of shelling from his ballot that they are not going to allow that to continue for 11 months. Hezbollah has been attacking israel in solidarity with hamas and israel has been responding in kind hi, without, without the kind of intensity that were seeing in the last few days. So for now, it looks like theres a certain measure of restraint really on both sides and then have a listen to what israels president Isaac Herzog told cbs about the intensifying attacks with hezbollah took out a barrage of attacks On Israeli cities towns, and villages all over the northern part of israel. Pounding way they huge bombs and missiles on the northern part of israel why would any nation accepted, why would any decent nation accepted . Were almost a year in such a situation of a kind of a Vicious Cycle. We want to get out of this Vicious Cycle youve heard herzog say there that israel wants to get out of this Vicious Cycle. But what will it take for that to happen well, we know these, these really spectacular are operations last week, the exploding pagers, they exploding, exploding walkietalkies all right, not just an impressive James Bond Style operations. These are, these are meaningful meaningful operations that have been graded. Hezbollahs ability to operate it, its hard for them to communicate now, its hard to imagine how theyre going to communicate with their tens of thousands of members. The Shelling Air Raids from the last few days have destroyed hundreds of Hezbollah Rocket launchers, but they have not stopped his vallows operations at some point, israel is hoping that hezbollah is going to see that it is it is outgunned here and because of what israel did earlier in the week, its much harder for his ballot to respond with the kind of strength that would, that would create a stalemate. So at some point is valid going to have to make a decision because it is losing a lot of its capabilities during these operations, hezbollah launched a fierce assault On Israel last night and today, but it it really didnt do that much damage. There were som
