Members of Alabama’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives held a moment of silence for the shooting in Birmingham over the weekend that killed 4 and injured more than a dozen. Over 100 rounds were fired and a $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading to arrests.

U.S. Reps. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile), Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville), Gary Palmer (R-Hoover), and Dale Strong (R-Monrovia) joined U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) as she led the moment of silence:
