Florida cops are asking for the public’s help identifying two men caught on camera brandishing guns as shots rang out on a crowded boardwalk Monday, leaving nine people shot and frantic crowds running for their lives.
The footage shows a scuffle breaking out along a crowded stretch of the popular Hollywood attraction before a man in a yellow hoodie pulls out a pistol and begins firing.
Another suspect in a gray hoodie and black pants can also be seen squeezing off several shots before sprinting away from the late evening bedlam.
Several children ranging in age from 1 to 17 were among the nine bystanders who were hit by bullets.
Eight of the nine victims, including the 1-year-old, were in stable condition with one person in surgery, police said.
Officials did not say what sparked the initial fight that led to the shooting, but a local law enforcement source said detectives are investigating a gang angle.
“It is completely unacceptable that innocent people spending time with family on a holiday weekend have been affected by a shooting altercation between two groups who came into our city with guns and no regard for the safety of the law abiding public around them,” Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy said in a written statement Tuesday.
