Description:

A fight between two groups turned deadly in Florida when a shooting in a Tampa street during Halloween festivities resulted in two deaths and 18 people hospitalized early on Sunday morning, police said.

Officers responded to the shooting in Tampa just before 3am on the 1600 block of East 7th Avenue in the Ybor City area, the Tampa police chief, Lee Bercaw, said during a press conference at the scene.

The fight occurred in an area with several bars and clubs, and there were large numbers of late-night revelers in the area at the time, Bercaw said. Police were not immediately sure if the people involved in the fight were inside any of the bars before the shooting.
