BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - The head of public safety for the Housing Authority Birmingham District called Saturday's shooting of a 13-year-old boy in the Marks Village community "outrageous."



"I'm making a plea to the community to reach out to the police department with information," Public Safety Director Jeff Gorley told WBRC.



Police said the 13-year-old boy was injured when someone shot him in the stomach in the HABD community Saturday night around 9 p.m.



David Warren, a former football coach for the boy who has not yet been identified publicly, told WBRC, the teen underwent surgery and was responsive to his family.



The Saturday night shooting was followed by another shooting at Marks Village on Sunday afternoon. An adult male was shot in the chest, the extent of the injuries was not known.



Police told WBRC the shootings do not currently appear to be connected. Police continue investigating both cases.
