One person critically hurt after firing broke out at family event in park in Fort Pierce
A shooting which erupted on a packed Martin Luther King Jr Day block party in Florida and left eight people wounded late on Monday was the 30th mass shooting in the US this year, according to theAuthorities said one person was critically hurt in the shooting during the holiday event in Fort Pierce. Seven others were also shot and wounded, and at least four more hurt in the panic that followed.
The MLK Day party in the city’s Ilous Ellis Park was billed as a family event with a DJ and live music, dance performances, a car show and children’s activities. In a cellphone video taken by a witness, families are seen dancing by their cars as shots are fired, with parents then taking children by the hand and scrambling to safety.
Officials there suspect the “horrific massacre” in the early hours was related to drug cartel activity after a search of the residence by deputies executing a narcotics warrant last week. Boudreaux said deputies were called to the residence at about 3.30am on Monday and found two victims dead in the street, with four more in the house. They included a man who was still alive but died later in hospital. Several survivors were led from the house, the sheriff said.
