Two firefighters have been shot Wednesday morning inside their fire station in Birmingham, Alabama in what police suspect may be a “targeted attack.”
The incident happened around 8:30 a.m. in the city’s Norwood neighborhood.
“We feel like it may be a targeted attack. We don’t know why it would be a targeted attack, but that’s one of the things we’re trying to determine at this point in time,” Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond told reporters. “It’s extremely unusual for someone to come target one of our fire stations and so we’re trying to see why would someone want to target one of these fire stations in Birmingham.”
“Our firefighters are there to protect and aid and rescue our citizens and to see them be critically injured is just very troubling, disheartening that that would happen in our community,” he added.
