Two firefighters were shot and seriously wounded Wednesday morning while on duty at a fire station in Birmingham, Alabama, in what the city's police chief says could be a "targeted" attack.
The firefighters are hospitalized in serious condition after the shooting at Station 9 at about 8:30 a.m., Police Chief Scott Thurmond said at a news conference Wednesday. A third firefighter who was working inside the building at the time was not injured, he said.
No arrests have been made and it was unclear how many suspects were involved, Thurmond said.
