Police responded to reports of the shooting on 27th Street North at approximately 11:08 p.m., according to Birmingham police spokesman Truman Fitzgerald. On arrival, officers discovered one man fatally shot on the sidewalk outside the nightclub, two women dead inside, and another man who later died at the hospital.
