The police chief said that the suspects have a “disregard” for human life.
“The suspects clearly have a disregard for human life. They opened fire into a crowd of people that weren’t doing anything more than just celebrating out here on Franklin Street, so it’s a disturbing set of circumstances,” O’Connor said. “Three o’clock in the morning, alcohol and guns are not a good combination.”
People with information about the incident are being asked to call the Tampa Police Department at 813-231-6130.
