- A late-night shooting in Birmingham’s Five Points South neighborhood left four dead, and 17 injured, making it one of three quadruple homicides in the city thus far in 2024.
This footage was taken just 11 hours after the deadly mass shooting.
The shooting happened outside a Birmingham club Saturday night just after 11 p.m. in the 2000 block of Magnolia Avenue South. Club patrons were standing in line to get into Hush, a hookah and cigar lounge when police said multiple suspects jumped out of a car and fired multiple rounds into the crowd.
Three people died at the scene; one person later died in the hospital.
Police identified the four people killed as Antria Holloman, 21, Tahj Booker, 27, Carlos McCain, 27, and Roderick Lynn Patterson Jr., 26.
As the search continues for the gunmen sought in the weekend mass shooting, authorities on Monday announced reward money of up to $100,000 offered by the FBI and Crime Stoppers.

- A mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, left four people dead and at least 17 others injured in the city’s Five Points South entertainment district. A manhunt is underway for the multiple shooters that pulled up in a car, exited, and opened fire before fleeing. Authorities are urging anyone with information to get in contact with the police.
Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond said the shooting outside of Hush Lounge, a hookah and cigar lounge, may have been a murder-for-hire. The suspected target of the shooting was among the dead and more than 100 shell casings were collected at the scene.
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin on Sunday morning called on Alabama legislators to ban gun conversion devices such as Glock switches after witnesses said some of the gunfire sounded like it came from a gun outfitted with a switch that converts it to a fully automatic weapon.

- Antonious Colts made his first trip to the old house he’d read about on the Internet as part of an ongoing search for himself. He and many others took part in the reunion of the Coats and Thornton families in Etowah County this weekend. The event happens every two years in this community of about 1,500 people along the banks of the Coosa River.
But this time was different. The families are descended from the enslaved people who built the two-story plantation house that shares their family names, sitting alongside the Appalachian Highway, within sight of row upon row of cotton. On Sunday, they were invited inside and to wander the grounds of the white columned, antebellum mansion that dominates the landscape.
This trip inside, though, came at the invitation of the house’s owner, a white woman descended from a family that has owned the house, at one time or another, for 150 years.

In 2024, Advance Local Media newsrooms in Alabama, New Jersey, Michigan and Oregon set out to document the changes. Some of what fishermen are reporting is sudden, the effects decisive and clear, while other changes are more subtle and still emerging.
Scientists are just beginning to document the changing patterns, as they tease apart how warming waters affect ecosystems influenced by many variables. For now, scientists are sure things are getting hotter, and the fishermen are sure marine species are on the move. And no one can say for certain what comes next.
