One person killed, several wounded in Alabama shooting after Magic City Classic
A person was killed and several others were wounded in a shooting in Alabama after the Magic City Classic, a rivalry college football game between historically Black colleges.
One person was killed and several others were wounded in a shooting in Alabama on Saturday night, shortly after the Magic City Classic, a long-standing rivalry college football game between historically Black colleges and universities.
The shooting took place at the end of the game, which draws large crowds each year and is among the most prominent contests in the HBCU football calendar. The source reporting does not specify the exact location of the shooting, the number of people wounded, or whether any suspects have been arrested, and no further details about the victim have been confirmed.
The incident comes amid a broader pattern of violence reported in other parts of the country in recent days. In New York City, police said a 28-year-old woman was critically injured after being stabbed multiple times in the neck while jogging along a Brooklyn waterfront path on Friday night. The attack occurred around 8 p.m. near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street in the Bath Beach neighborhood, and the NYPD said the woman was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in critical condition. Police have not released her identity and have not identified a suspect. Later reports said the woman remained alive, and investigators are asking the public for help through the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
Authorities have not publicly linked the Alabama shooting to any other incident. Further information about the investigation and the condition of those wounded is expected from local law enforcement as the inquiry continues.
