ine people were injured after an altercation ended in gunfire in a popular Florida beach town packed with individuals celebrating the Memorial Day holiday, Hollywood police confirmed.
At least one person of interest has been detained, and police are currently looking for a second individual, Hollywood Police Department spokesperson Deanna Bettineschi told reporters. She said the incident happened following a "dispute between two groups."
The shooting, which injured at least three minors, occurred near the Hollywood Broadwalk near the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, Bettineschi said during the press conference. The area is filled with beachfront shops, restaurants and hotels, and is a hot spot during holidays and the summer season.
The victims were transported to Memorial Regional Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, police said. Officials did not immediately share information on victims' conditions, ages or identities.
Jarring footage shared on Twitter by gun reform advocate Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, shows dozens of people fleeing the scene and running for cover. The video, from the city of Hollywood's live feed of Hollywood Beach, captured the chaos after the shooting around 6:40 p.m. local time
Josh Levy, the mayor of the Florida beach town located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, expressed his gratitude for those who helped the victims in a Twitter post on Monday night.
