Florida Shooting

Ten people were injured Monday afternoon during a drive-by shooting in a central Florida neighborhood, police said. Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor said during a news conference that two of the victims were critically injured, while the wounds of the other eight victims weren't considered life-threatening. Lakeland is located about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Tampa. I've been here 34 years, and I can tell you I have never worked an event where this many people were shot at one time, ever, Taylor said. A crowd of people were gathered along a residential street when a dark-blue sedan rolled by, police said. Shooters fired from the windows before the car sped away. Officers were actively searching for the vehicle and the shooters Monday night, officials said. Taylor said investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack. Police said marijuana was found at the scene of the shooting, and investigators believe drug sales were taking place. Taylor described the neighborhood

The lead attorney for Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz told the jury in his penalty trial Monday they have witnessed things that will haunt them for the rest of their lives, but they now need to learn what led him to the massacre of 17 people four years ago before they can decide whether he is sentenced to death or life without parole. Melisa McNeill told the seven-man, five-woman jury and their 10 alternates in her opening statement that Cruz committed a horrible, unspeakable act when he murdered 14 students and three staff members at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018, but he was a damaged person whose birth mother had abused alcohol and cocaine throughout her pregnancy. We must understand the person behind the crime, McNeill, an assistant public defender, said. Cruz. 23, pleaded guilty in October to 17 counts of first-degree murder and his trial is only to decide whether he is sentenced to death or life without parole. This is the deadliest U.S.
