BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — One of the firefighters who was shot inside a Birmingham, Alabama, fire station on Wednesday has died, according to Birmingham's mayor.
“My heart is hurting today," Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said in a statement shared on the fire department's Twitter. “It devastates me to share that we’ve lost our own firefighter Jordan Melton. But before I talk about Jordan the public servant, I want to celebrate Jordan the man."
“He loved to talk sports as much as he loved good barbecue. He had a brilliant mind for business, but he was always down to lighten the mood with a joke or two," the mayor said."He was also a wonderful son to his mother, who has been his rock in these difficult past few days."
