BIRMINGHAM Ala. (WIAT)– The Birmingham police department has recorded over 80 homicides so far this year in Birmingham. Five homicides occurred in Birmingham just last week.
With the recent uptick in crime here in the Magic City, a local community-based group is working toward being a positive force in hopes of turning this cycle of violence around.
The Everytown Community Safety Fund awarded Faith in Action Alabama with a second support grant recently. That funding will help the organization resolve conflict and hopefully put an end to violence in our community.
