🛑 Mass Shooting Outside Legion Field After the Magic City Classic 🛑

Nine people were shot outside Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama on October 31, 2026, more than an hour after the 85th Magic City Classic ended. One person was killed, one is in critical condition, and seven are stable. The victim who died has not been named.

Shortly after 7:50 PM Central, multiple shots rang out in the 400 block of Graymont Avenue West. Vendors and tailgaters were still packed into the area after Alabama A&M beat Alabama State 31 to 28 in front of nearly 70,000 fans. A day that should have been about football, bands and family ended with bodies on the pavement.

One person was detained and taken to Birmingham Police headquarters for questioning. No charges and no motive have been released. Police recovered multiple firearms at the scene.

Birmingham Police Chief Michael Pickett called it "two senseless acts of violence" and took no questions. His officers ran toward the gunfire, and no officers or first responders were hurt. The FBI, ALEA, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Vestavia Hills Police and the U.S. Attorney's Office are all assisting. Tailgating was shut down and the area was cleared.

This is the city's first mass shooting since September 21, 2024, when 4 people were killed and more than 17 were hurt at Hush Lounge in Five Points South.

Birmingham Police are asking for any video of the shooting, and anyone who sends it can stay anonymous. Call 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.

What's the chance it is the usual suspects?

April 25, 2025, marks the 75th anniversary of the day that the NBA’s first Black players entered the league as part of the 1950 NBA Draft. The players being honored include: 1st DRAFTED: Chuck Cooper became the first Black player drafted by an NBA team when he was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 14th overall pick. 1st TO PLAY: Earl Lloyd followed shortly after as the 100th pick by the Washington Capitols and later became the first Black player to play in an NBA game. 1st TO SIGN CONTRACT: In the same season, Nathaniel "Sweetwater" Clifton signed with the New York Knicks, becoming the first Black player to sign an NBA contract.

I’m grateful that, in a time when diversity is being ignored and villainized, the NBA is standing tall (the only way they can stand) in celebrating the men who endured so much adversity to make it possible for players like me, Jordan, Magic, Kobe, and LeBron to have an easier road to success than they did. It’s only when we look back at where we came from do we know which direction we need to go ahead. These men clearly illuminate our path.
