Here's the deal ... the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident at the RIZE Fighting Championship event which went down on March 20 at the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth Beach.Filipe Valentim
-- but there was more action in the stands than inside the cage ... when fans started to attack each other!!Unclear how the brawl started ... but as several groups of people engaged in fighting, one man opened up a bag, pulled out a handgun and fired it into the air -- apparently hoping the gunshot would scare everyone into behaving.
But, watch the clip ... there are people watching the fights on the balcony, directly above the shooter -- and it's a miracle no one was hit!Former Bellator middleweight champ-- who also fought in the UFC -- was in the crowd at the event and captured the shooting on video."This guy just shot his handgun in the middle of a melee at an amateur show," Lombard posted on IG ..."Shameful and pathetic cowardly behavior ruined a great night of fights.
When officials arrived on-scene, paramedics treated multiple individuals who were injured in the brawl portion of the incident.So far, no arrests have been made -- but officials say they've launched an investigation in hopes of identifying the shooter and finding out why the hell he thought it would be a good idea to pop off a couple of rounds with so many people in close proximity!
Law enforcement is asking the public for help -- saying"anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS."
God help him if he was Black.

It’d be helpful if it was easier to obtain more guns in this situation.
I mean it’s Florida, don’t act surprised 🙄
Was that the idiots mother grabbing the gun bag?.
Wut state did this happen in?
This man is clearly an idiot but I do understand the fear being in an uncontrolled situation especially because the government, in CA at least, doesn't do anything for victims of crime so more people I know are getting more proactive because the gov't has forced that situation.
Did you see the woman that went for the bag that he took the gun out of. Why in the heck weren’t the bags screened before going into the event? Could have gone left..
This is beyond unnecessary the whole time he struggling to find the gun, he was never touched, messed with, nothing People like this don’t need guns, things like this are apart of the reason bad situations become worse ! How is shooting inside a small area going to deescalate ?
