The Five Points South district is known for its nightlife. The shooting occurred on Magnolia Avenue, Mr Fitzgerald said.

Witnesses who were queuing outside a hookah and cigar lounge on Magnolia Avenue at the time told local news site Al.com that some of the gunfire sounded as though it came from a gun converted to be fully automatic.

I live in Birmingham, just a couple miles from Five Points South. It's not often I am in the area this late at night, but it's not unheard of. I'm glad I wasn't last night.

I feel for Mayor Woodfin. I know he wants to make positive changes regarding gun violence and gun culture, but the state government wouldn't dare consider common sense legislation because MUH FREEDOMS.
