Halloween celebrations went horribly wrong in Tampa Bay, Florida, after an argument turned into a mass shooting that left two dead and 18 wounded early on Sunday morning.
Authorities have arrested one suspect, but police warned that there was more than one shooter in this terrible incident.
Tampa police chief Lee Bercaw explained that the situation started as an argument between two groups that developed into a street brawl.
Eventually, three shooters opened fire and true chaos followed. One of the individuals who was killed in the fight was identified as a 14-year-old boy.
Bercaw said, "This morning, it’s tragic that families have to wake up and see on the news what happened here tonight. We have to think about the families involved and the victims that were involved, and our hearts go out to them."
Hopefully, this horrific incident will cause many to reconsider the consequences of even simple disagreements with strangers. It isn't worth it to start a fight that can easily turn into a mass shooting if just one trigger-happy individual is involved.
