One person was killed and another wounded when gunfire erupted today at a Birmingham apartment complex in eastern Jefferson County.
The shooting happened on Gallant Drive at Valley Brook Apartments, the scene of multiple violent incidents in the past. Jefferson County sheriff's deputies were working nearby, heard the gunfire and responded to the scene. Birmingham police joined them a short time later.
"What we know is there were multiple people shooting,'' said Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards. "Once everybody got here, it looked extremely chaotic."
Birmingham police late this evening identified the victim as Damon McCain. he was 44.
