Gunfire erupted Sunday afternoon in Birmingham, leaving one dead and two injured.
The shooting began about 2:15 p.m. in Elyton Village on the city’s west side. Birmingham police quickly placed patrol vehicles at each entry/exit point of the public housing community which sits between Third Avenue West and Graymont Avenue and spans several blocks. Many of the officers had their long guns out.
Sgt. Rod Mauldin said North Precinct officers were dispatched just after 2 p.m. to Elyton Village where they found a juvenile male wounded by gunfire. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injures. While officers were on the scene, a large number of gunshots rang out again.
