Two people were shot in Jefferson County, Alabama, Thursday morning and rushed to UAB Hospital, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. Details remain scarce, and authorities have not yet released information about the victims' conditions, ages, or what led to the shooting.
The shooting happened on 3rd Place NE near Center Point, according to information reported by WBRC. The outlet, citing the sheriff's department, said the two victims were taken to UAB Hospital following the shooting, and noted that its report would be updated as more information becomes available.
A Familiar Pattern in Center Point
This is far from the first time gunfire has sent victims from the Center Point area to UAB Hospital. In October 2026, deputies responded to a reported shooting in the 100 block of Chalkville Manor Drive, where a 32-year-old woman described by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office as an innocent bystander was shot and later treated and released at UAB Hospital. Three 18-year-old men were charged in that case: Amari Turnbough faced two counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling or vehicle along with a first-degree assault charge, while Carver Aaron and Tamon Jones were each charged with first-degree robbery.
Months earlier, in March 2026, deputies had responded to the 10 block of Polly Reed Road NE in Center Point to investigate a report of shots fired, per wbrc.com's earlier coverage of that investigation.
A Years-Long History of Gunfire in the Area
The incidents described above underscore how frequently gunfire has been reported in this stretch of Jefferson County in recent years, even as the circumstances of Thursday's shooting remain largely unknown.
No suspect, motive, or further details about Thursday's shooting have been made public, and it is not yet known whether anyone has been arrested or charged in connection with it. The victims were two men; the sheriff's department has not released their ages or the severity of their injuries. Hoodline will continue to follow this story as the sheriff's department and WBRC release additional information.
