Kaufman County says two people died and 26 evacuated after heavy rain caused flash flooding throughout the county. One family shares their story of being rescued.
Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said in a press conference shortly after 6 a.m. that two people were killed and 18 others injured in the shooting. According to Chief Bercaw, two groups had a confrontation on the main strip of Ybor City before shots were fired. The gunfire happened just as bars were letting out. It sent people running, leaving debris and trash scattered all over the area. Chief Bercaw set to give an update shortly.
We know this happened in the 1600 block of E. 7th Ave."I just ask that everybody look at the victims and realize what happened here. Know that it is unacceptable and if there's any motivation for somebody to provide us a tip, let that be the motivation. We need to hold those accountable who were involved," Chief Bercaw said. Police are asking anyone who was there or who has video of what happened to contact them at 813-231-6130.
