 Tuesday, January 17, 2023 – Eight people were injured, with one in critical condition, in a shooting at a family-friendly Martin Luther King Jr. Day event at a Florida park Monday evening, Jan. 16, authorities said.

Gunfire rang out around 5:20 p.m. during the MLK Car Show and Family Fun Day inside at Ilous Ellis Park, where more than a thousand people had gathered for the event, the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office told local ABC-affiliate station WPBF 25 News.

According to the sheriff’s office, the shooting erupted from some kind of disagreement.

All eight shooting victims are adults. Four others, including a child, also suffered injuries as people fled from the gunshots, officials said.

Footage from the scene posted online shows attendees ducking behind cars and running after hearing possible gunshots.
