The Hollywood Beach shooting which happened at about 7 pm left 3 children and 6 adults injured – the youngest victim being a 1-year-old toddler. No death has been recorded and some of the wounded were taken to a children’s hospital.
According to Deanna Bettineschi, a spokesman for Hollywood Police Department, the cause of the shooting was due to an altercation between two rival groups.

The Police said there would be a heavy presence of officers as the investigation continues. Officials were also setting up an area for family members to reunite.
