An argument over jet skies ended with a 7-year-old boy dead and his grandfather injured in Tampa, Florida.
A 7-year-old boy was killed and his grandfather was injured by a stray bullet when gunfire erupted during a Fourth of July dispute in Florida, officials said.
The pair were at the Courtney Campbell Causeway west of Ben T. Davis Beach around 8:30 p.m. local time when two groups of people started arguing over jet skis being driven recklessly near where children were playing in the water, Johnson said. Members from each group opened fire. "There was no reason, no excuse, for that argument to lead to gunfire, much less an argument over jet skis," Johnson said.
