Author

This is horrible! The Tampa Police Department has announced that there was a shooting that happened last night in Ybor City during Halloween celebrations. The shooting happened early in the morning at about 3 a.m. Sunday at 1600 block of East 7th Avenue. In videos posted online you can see hundreds of people walking the street when a fight broke out. An argument started between two groups of people and that’s when someone took out a gun and started firing. Unfortunately, this happened while hundreds of people were walking around, celebrating Halloween dressed up from attending parties.

Ybor Shooting 2 Dead And 18 Injured During Halloween Celebrations:

In some videos posted on social media you can see people running from the gun fire, ducking for cover in fear of their lives. So far, it’s being reported that 2 people have been killed and 18 have been injured and transferred to a local hospital. One of the people who passed away was a 14-year-old boy who was out that night. Police Chief Bercaw and the Tampa Police Department is asking for the public’s health to turn over video footage of the evening so they can help capture the people who did this.

They have no released any other ages or information on any other victims at this time. The police desperately need your help if you have any information. They’re asking the public to please contact the non-emergency line with any tips or help on this situation.

Bercaw said there were at least two shooters, but there could be more and need your help to find these people. WFLA reported that Bercaw said during a press conference “We need to hold those [responsible] accountable.” This is such terrible new for our community. Our hearts go out to anyone hurt or affected by this incident.
