A shooting that broke out in a Tampa neighborhood has killed two people and injured another 18, according to police.
A shooting that broke out early Sunday morning after "an altercation between two groups" in a Tampa neighborhood has killed two people and injured 18 others, according to police.
The shooting took place after fighting between the groups began around 3 a.m. in Ybor City, a neighborhood in east Tampa, Florida,Chief Lee Bercaw told reporters during a news conference early Sunday morning. One person died at the scene while a second victim died at a hospital as a result of sustained injuries, the chief said.
Hundreds of people were in the street amid Halloween festivities when the shots rang out, just as the bars closed and patrons began to file out, Bercaw said. Ybor City is known for its nightlife, including bars and restaurants. Of the 18 people hospitalized, police are unsure as to how many were shot or injured in the melee as the crowd dispersed to escape the gunshots, Bercaw said.
One shooting suspect turned himself in and is currently in police custody, Bercaw said. Investigators believe there were at least two shooters."Our thoughts are with the victims impacted by this senseless act, and our detectives are committed to holding those involved accountable," Bercaw said.Related Topics
