Alabama Shooting: Four Dead, 28 Injured at Sweet 16 Birthday

At least four people have been killed in a mass shooting at a 16th birthday party in the US state of Alabama. Twenty-eight people were injured, some critically, after shots were fired at the celebration. The incident happened in the early hours of Sunday morning, and authorities are still investigating the motive behind the attack.

The shooting took place in an area of Tuscaloosa known for its student population, and many of the victims were reportedly college students. The mayor of Tuscaloosa, Walt Maddox, called the incident a "senseless" act of violence and urged anyone with information to come forward.

Gun Violence in America

The shooting in Alabama is just the latest in a string of gun-related incidents in the US. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been over 200 mass shootings in the country so far this year, and over 10,000 deaths from gun violence. The issue of gun control is a contentious one in America, with many arguing for stricter laws and others advocating for the right to bear arms.

Whatever the solution may be, it's clear that something needs to be done to address the epidemic of gun violence in the US. Until then, tragedies like the one in Alabama will continue to occur, leaving families and communities devastated in their wake.
