BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Birmingham police say a man was shot in a fight outside the funeral of recent triple homicide victim.
Multiple news outlets report a gun fight broke out Wednesday afternoon outside the funeral of 24-year-old Korde Turner, who was found shot execution-style along with two other men May 4. On Wednesday, a group of suspects fired multiple shots outside the church during Turner’s funeral service. One victim suffered injuries that weren’t life-threatening.
Birmingham Police believe the shooting had nothing to do with the funeral.
An off duty officer saw the fight break out. One of the shooters is currently in police custody. None of the suspects have been identified.
Police had to temporarily take down crime scene tape so the hearse and funeral procession could go to Turner’s burial site.
