Florida cops are encouraging people to avoid an area of Hollywood Beach after an apparent shooting sent the packed area into chaos, with a live feed of the boardwalk showing hundreds take off sprinting at the sound of shots fired.
Few details are known about the shooting, which appears to have began around 7 p.m. Monday, in the final hours of Memorial Day weekend. It’s unclear how many people—if any—were struck by gunfire.
People claiming to be witnesses posted online that shots were fired outside Nicks Bar & Grill—a popular restaurant that’s attached to the Hollywood Beach boardwalk in Broward County.
