“Please avoid the area of Johnson to Garfield Streets, as well as the Broadwalk, due to an ongoing shooting investigation. Heavy police presence in the area. If you are looking to reunite with a family member, we have set up a reunification area at Johnson St and N Ocean bus loop,” local police tweeted.
The violence was precipitated by a clash between two different groups that eventually led to shots fired, per local officials.
Some of the victims have been moved to nearby medical facilities, such as Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Memorial Regional Hospital, according to CBS Miami. Additional information about their condition was not available.
“Thank you to the good samaritans, paramedics, police and emergency room doctors and nurses for their immediate response to aid the victims of today’s shooting. The @HollywoodFLPD Public Information Officer will be providing further information,” Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy tweeted.
