Police in Florida say two people have been killed and another wounded in a shooting at an unofficial after-party for St. Petersburg's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Dream Big Parade.

St. Petersburg police said in a news release that the shooting happened Monday at a gas station where more than 100 people gathered for the post-parade celebration. Police spokeswoman Yolanda Fernandez says gunfire was reported to police at about 9:40 p.m.

39-year-old Tywan Jeremiah Armstrong and 42-year-old Roger Lee Ford Jr. were pronounced dead at a hospital and 42-year-old Carlos Demetrius Young is being treated for injuries not considered life-threatening.

The search for the shooter continues. Police say investigators don't believe the shooter was targeting King Day celebrations.

You got that right.

I have TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plates on my Car and I live in CA.

I’m waiting for some SJW driving behind me to call 911 and tell the Cops I’m driving drunk or something. Nothing would surprise me anymore.

I’m sure Michael King’s Soviet handlers would be tickled pink to hear that their work is still harming the US all these years later.

I’m so glad MLK was born in January. In many parts of the country, the weather puts a damper on the violence surrounding the celebrations.

Unofficial?

At a gas station?

Thanks for clearing that one up, fake news.
