According to Tampa police, 36-year-old Scott Deel of Florahome, Florida was walking inside the theme park with his wife when he felt pain in his shoulder around 10 p.m. His wife then noticed he was bleeding. Investigators said the source of the pain was a bullet, most likely a result of celebratory gunfire from outside the park, but they are unsure where. it occurred around the same times fireworks were set off at Busch Gardens.
The park's security responded, and gave him first aid. Tampa firefighters transported him to Tampa General Hospital afterwards with non-life threatening injuries.

Good one!!
What goes up must come down. Greater (Lesser) Miami issues a warning every New Year’s Eve to stay indoors. Looks like it has morphed up the west coast of Florida and now any holiday is cause for 3rd world behavior.

High angle is greatly slowed. Shallower angles are stil long shots.
