    Several of the victims were taken to a children’s hospital, police spokesperson Deanna Bettineschi said. However, authorities have not yet released the ages of the victims or provided details about their conditions.

    A preliminary investigation shows that an altercation between two groups resulted in gunfire, police said. One person has been detained and another suspect is being still being sought.

    Videos posted on Twitter on Monday evening showed emergency medical crews responding and providing aid to multiple injured people.

    Police said there would be a heavy presence of officers as the investigation continues. Officials were also setting up an area for family members to reunite.

    Hollywood Beach is a popular beach destination about 11 miles (17 kilometers) south of Fort Lauderdale and 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Miami. The beach was expected to see more visitors than usual with the Memorial Day holiday.

    Wait a minute! The alleged suspect is black. Please remove this story immediately! It doesn’t fit the Biden/Wray/Garland/Mayorkas narrative. I can guarantee you that the mainstream media will make sure this story disappears.

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law allowing Floridians to carry guns without a concealed weapons license beginning July 1. Nearly three million Floridians over 21 have active licenses earned by completing a safety training course, and meeting a host of other eligibility requirements

    Sad sad sad.

    To The NY Times and their so called sources from within the Frum community,

    You should know that we Jews who live this moral modest lifestyle that you hate are making daily the blessing of בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם. שֶׁלּא עָשנִי גּוי meaning we thank the almighty that he did not make us a Goy/gentile.

    We are proud to say that non of this type of crimes are done by Orthodox Jews. It is all done by the type of people who live the lifestyle you the NY Times promote.
