BIRMINGHAM –A window at Topgolf in downtown Birmingham was hit by gunfire on Saturday, according to Clare Huddleston who first reported the incident.
According to Topgolf employees, the gunfire occurred when two people met off-property for an online classified transaction. A stray bullet allegedly struck the Topgolf window.
The new facility recently opened on the northern edge of downtown.

Randy Hydrick

Marcus Phillips I mean there was a death in the construction stages of it. Remind me again why I want to take my white ass to Birmingham to play golf?
Marcus Phillips
They should have known then when that death happened, that it just was not gonna be a great place 😂 and damn skippy. That’s the last place you’ll catch me lol
Jeffery Parker
The only reason I went to top golf was to install irrigation lol. With that being said I love golf. But not golf in the hood.

It was built in the wrong section of town. Should’ve been built outside city limits!
Tami Roper
Lol I tagged Lori in it earlier. It’s a shame but not surprising
Marlene Little Appleton
Too much like Chicago for comfort!
Marlene Little Appleton
No Birmingham needs to clean up the city so we don’t have to move outside city limits!
Marlene Little Appleton
People running away from our problems is what’s wrong already

The mayor and council sometimes seem a little naive. When violence immediately started when Railroad Park was new, the previous mayor and council were surprised. Really? Sad state of affairs for sure.
Jen Autwell
Bham can not have anything nice….smh
Jonathan Murray
Can’t have nothin’.
Chuck Browning
See you can’t have anything nice
Chuck Browning
Jenin Whatley yea but crap like this keeps people away and they die
Chuck Browning
So you’re ok with dodging lead we’ll go right ahead, and the criminal element is what makes it stagnant jeez
Jenin Whatley
Chuck did you even read the article??! Lmao! Probably not. 🤣🤣🤣 your comment is just ignorant.
Chuck Browning
Jenin Whatley I know a mother personally that her daughter was enjoying a nice night out in 5 points south and was murdered by a thug. Yea nice things 🤨
Marlene Little Appleton
No actually i have been there
Ed Hollis
Really!!!!! What a shock!!! Perfect target
Khari Marquette
You mean, BIRMINGHELL!!!
Jenin Whatley
Chuck soooo only people that murder people are “thugs” let’s not expand the conversation and address poverty. Let’s not have an educated conversation about any of the things that cause the circumstances that increase crime. Let’s not discuss blight. Let’s let you throw out a story about a woman in 5 points south. Okay. Good deal. Now tell me how many people in Hoover, Trussville and Homewood are addicted to opioids?!! Because guess what!?!! Wealthy people commit crimes and have thuggish behavior, it’s just not addressed. So yeah. Nice things. Smh. Take your ignorance to someone that will buy it.
Carol Ratliff
I’m confused. What idiot would think that’s funny? Someone could have been hurt!
Jenin Whatley
Chuck and it still doesn’t change the fact that you didn’t read this story and aren’t at all discussing the facts within. Maybe, just maybe people should take better care when they are selling their guns. And maybe, should use some damn sense and make sure it’s not loaded. Someone could have been killed.
