Four people were shot and injured after a wild gunfight erupted outside of an Alabama bar early Sunday morning.

Three men and a woman were shot near Tin Roof, a bar in Birmingham’s Lakeview Entertainment District, cops said, according to AL.com.

An off-duty cop was working inside Tin Roof at about 12:45 a.m. when someone reportedly rushed into the bar to say there had been a shooting outside.

Officials found a man who had been shot and a woman who was grazed by a bullet in the parking lot, according to the article.

An SUV reportedly fled the scene before being pulled over not far from the bar.

Two seriously wounded men, including one with life-threatening injuries, were found inside the car fleeing the scene, police told the outlet.

Police Lt. Ron Harless reportedly said it appeared as though multiple people had fired multiple shots.
