Nine Shot Near Nation’s Largest HBCU Football Game
Nine people were shot, one of them fatally, shortly before 8 p.m. Saturday near Birmingham, Alabama’s Legion Field, the site of the Magic City Classic football game.
The New York Post noted the Classic “the largest Historically Black College and University football game in the US.”
The shots were fired on an avenue “behind the south endzone stands of the stadium,” leaving one dead and eight people with non-life-threatening injuries.
