A popular Spring Break destination has been rocked by gun violence over the weekend, after five different shootings occurred in just three days, leaving one police officer injured and a suspect in critical condition.
Video of one incident shared online showed thousands of screaming people running down Daytona Beach, Florida, while law enforcement agencies from multiple jurisdictions dispersed across the sand.
None of the shootings unfolded on the beach itself, though two shootings on Saturday were beachside, officials with the Volusia Sheriff's Office told WFTV.
There was also a fight at Joint Bar on Seabreeze in which a shot was fired, but no injuries were reported, Daytona Beach police said.
Just one hour later, someone was shot in front of a Crunch Fitness.
All of the victims of those shootings are expected to recover, police said.
But on Sunday, a fifth shooting left South Daytona Beach Police Officer Jake Fessenden injured in the hospital and the suspect, Todd Anthony Martin, 31, in critical condition, Port Orange Police said.
The incident began when Port Orange Police responded to a call of a shooting off Country Lane, and located Martin, who fled in a vehicle, the police department posted on social media.

Hooligans doped up on THC vapes and marijuana.... other stuff too.
Slow day?
Meanwhile in chicago......
Sand giggers
yesterday I was in an area that was very vibrant and diverse. Everyone was so loud, and the stress level was so high that I still have a headache. I feel fatigued.

Daytona Beach has a substantial black population and is a popular venue for black college students on spring break. Most are law abiding, but their youth and numbers can make for rowdiness and criminal incidents that overwhelm law enforcement. The crowd for Bike Week can also be problematic, with Nascar events at the Daytona Speedway almost sedate by comparison.
good anywhere that has “twerking.”

I meant— “avoid anywhere that has twerking.” Thanks AI spellcheck
I live near Panama City Beach. My family won’t go to the beach until the end of April at the earliest. The out of towners trash, destroy, and steal. The shoot and fight.
Atlanta week, as it’s unofficially called, is the worst. There are rowdy whites that get arrested usually for alcohol-caused stupidity. However, the diversity causes people to get shot. It’s sad.
take a wild guess
We have Black Spring Break in Biloxi in early April - the first year (2000) was a disaster - and residents were up in arms (literally)ever since, the word had gotten out that they either toe the line or get taken in. A mall nearby is used to set up a command and control center in the parking lot with comms and lots of support people and vehicles.
Houston livestock show got closed down Saturday due to escaped apes rioting.
“We have Black Spring Break in Biloxi in early April”
...I would plan my vacation in early April every year.
Marijuana and THC vapes are a major factor in these blaq yoof shenanigans. Most of the rapper scum are high on marijuana all day long. They brag about it in the lyrics. Then blaq yoof copy them.
Best case is that yoofs get doped for Daytona and not year round.
Why are you so critical of Rap and Rappers
Don’t you know? Rap is the cultural high point for Black America
A real high point for sure /s/
Five shootings and no deaths is an improvement. So there’s that.
