Gunfire at crowded Florida beach sends sunbathers scattering as violence erupts during spring break
Wild video has surfaced of thousands of terrified spring break beachgoers fleeing the sand in Florida as gunshots rang out over the weekend.
At least four shootings have been reported in Daytona Beach since Friday as scores of spring breakers descended on the city, WFTV9 reported.
In one of the chaotic incidents, footage shot from a hotel balcony captured the moment screaming, bikini-clad sunbathers scattered on the beach after a shot was fired on Saturday.
It wasn’t immediately clear what sparked the shooting, or if anyone was injured.
Meanwhile, cops said one shot was fired after a fight erupted at the Joint Bar, just off the beach strip, on Friday.
No one was injured in that shooting, according to authorities.
An hour later, a person was shot outside a nearby Crunch Fitness.
Two shootings were reported beachside on Saturday, cops said.
Police are investigating if any of the shootings were directly tied to spring break.
It comes as beachgoers described chaotic scenes in the city over the weekend as spring break revelers descended.
“Twerking, dancing, stopping traffic, cussing people, flipping people off, stopping everyone, screaming. It was insane. Stopping traffic, you couldn’t move, you couldn’t go forward, back, nothing,” said Kissy Derito, who was in town with her family.
