People fired from all four windows of a sedan in the shooting Monday afternoon in Lakeland, east of Tampa, the police chief said.
Ten people were shot, including two who were left in critical condition, in a drive-by shooting on a Lakeland, Florida, street Monday, police said.
The shooting happened around 3:43 p.m., when the four windows of a dark blue Nissan sedan rolled down and people opened fire from each window, Police Chief Sam Taylor said.“We have reason to believe this was a targeted event, that it was not a random act,” Taylor said at a news conference Monday evening.
Officers found three people who had been shot, Taylor said. Seven others were taken by private vehicle to a hospital or showed up there for treatment, he said.Those shot were described as men ages 20 to 35. Two people were in critical condition — one of whom had been shot in the abdomen, and the other who had been shot in the face and jaw area, Taylor said.The vehicle was a dark blue Nissan four-door sedan, Taylor said. The windows rolled down and people inside began shooting, he said.Lakeland is a city of around 112,000 around 30 miles east of Tampa.
