    What changed

    • How many people were shot outside Legion Field, and what happened to them? The confirmation of at least one death makes that question more urgent after Saturday night’s gunfire in Birmingham, Alabama. Multiple other people were wounded, but authorities’ reported figures still do not provide a reconciled victim total. Police suspended Magic City Classic tailgating and ordered everyone off stadium property.

    Still open then

    • The victims’ conditions, who fired and whether any danger continued remain unverified.
    • A medical update and a police account addressing the injury count, shooting location and public-safety situation would resolve the most immediate gaps.
