THAT INCLUDES THE MASS SHOOTING IN FIVE POINTS SOUTH. WE’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY FOR WEEKS. IT’S BEEN A LITTLE OVER THREE WEEKS SINCE THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIVE POINTS SOUTH AREA AT HUSH LOUNGE. �������� 13 GLADYS BAUTISTA WAS AT THE NEWS CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON WITH BIRMINGHAM POLICE CHIEF SCOTT THURMAN. HE SPOKE TO THE MEDIA AND UPDATED US ON WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THOSE INVESTIGATIONS. SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE COVERING AT THE SAME TIME. YEAH, AND HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW MORE THAN 300 TIPS IN TOTAL THROUGH CRIME STOPPERS AND TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, REALLY HELPED IN DETERMINING WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TODAY. AND THOSE CHARGES THAT THEY ANNOUNCED TODAY. WE WANT TO GET OUT TO �������� 13 S GLADYS BAUTISTA. SHE WAS AT THAT NEWS CONFERENCE AS WE MENTIONED. GLADYS. CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON EVERYTHING YOU LEARNED THIS AFTERNOON? LOCKHART MCCANE. YEAH, WELL, ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. WE HAVE LEARNED THAT JUST AFTER THREE WEEKS SINCE THE MASS SHOOTING IN FIVE POINTS SOUTH, POLICE HAVE FINALLY MADE AN ARREST IN THAT. AND IN TWO OTHER HOMICIDES THAT THEY SAY HAPPENED ALL WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUSPECT THAT THEY SAY RIGHT NOW IS CONNECTED TO THREE SEPARATE HOMICIDES, INCLUDING THAT MASS SHOOTING. THIS IS DAMIAN MCDANIEL, THE THIRD. HE’S CHARGED WITH KILLING MULTIPLE PEOPLE. AS I MENTIONED IN JUST A MATTER OF DAYS. NOW, LET’S DO THIS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER FOR YOU ON SEPTEMBER 19TH. MCDANIEL IS NOW CHARGED IN THE MURDER OF ANTOINETTE BROWN AT A LOUNGE ON NINTH STREET NORTH. POLICE SAY THAT BROWN WAS AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER. TWO DAYS LATER, ON SEPTEMBER 21ST, POLICE SAY MCDANIEL WAS ONE OF WHAT MAY POSSIBLY BE MULTIPLE SHOOTERS WHO SHOT INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE STANDING OUTSIDE HUSKE LOUNGE, KILLING FOUR AND INJURING 17 OTHERS. NOW, THIS ROCKED THE CITY. POLICE VOWED THEN THAT THEY WOULD FIND THOSE RESPONSIBLE. HE IS THE FIRST PERSON TO BE CHARGED FOR THAT SHOOTING AND FOR THAT HE FACES CAPITAL MURDER OF TWO OR MORE PERSONS AND 17 COUNTS OF ATTEMPTED MURDER FOR THOSE THAT WERE INJURED. THE NEXT DAY AFTER THAT SHOOTING, SEPTEMBER 22ND, MCDANIEL IS ACCUSED IN THE DEATH OF JAMARCUS MCINTYRE ON 81ST PLACE SOUTH, FOR WHICH HE FACES ANOTHER CAPITAL MURDER CHARGE. THREE OTHERS ARE ALSO CHARGED IN MCINTYRE’S DEATH. HERE’S WHAT THURMAN SAYS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND COOPERATION THAT WENT INTO THESE ARRESTS. THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THIS INVESTIGATION IS IS ASTRONOMICAL. BUT I REALLY APPLAUD THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE TO TO GET IT DONE. I MEAN, THEY’VE THEY’VE WORKED DAY AND NIGHT FOR THREE AND A HALF WEEKS. SO IT’S JUST TREMENDOUS. THAT. HERE’S A STATEMENT FROM MAYOR RANDALL WOODFIN THAT HE POSTED WITHIN THE LAST HOUR. HE SAYS AFTER THE HORRIFIC SHOOTING AT FIVE POINTS SOUTH, WE VOWED THAT OUR PRIORITY WOULD BE TO FIND, CAPTURE AND ARREST EVERY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HEINOUS AND BRAZEN MASS SHOOTING. WE TOLD YOU THIS IS WHAT WE DO, AND THIS IS WHAT WE DID. TODAY WAS A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS JUSTICE. MCDANIEL IS NOW BEING HELD WITHOUT BOND AT THE JEFFERSON COUNTY JAIL. WE’RE LIVE OUTSIDE THE BIRMINGHAM POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR
