( NewsNation ) — Birmingham, Alabama, Mayor Randall Woodfin said, while four people were killed in a shooting incident early Sunday, the 17 who were injured “woke up to a new normal that, unfortunately, includes physical and emotional trauma.”
“The majority of these people who were shot were innocent and not the target,” Woodfin told “NewsNation Now.”
Late Sunday, Birmingham police identified three of the people killed in the shooting: Anitra Holloman, 21, of Bessemer, Alabama; Tahj Booker, 27, of Birmingham; and Carlos McCain, 27, also of Birmingham, Alabama. All there were pronounced dead at the scene of the shootings.
