'We have reason to believe this was a targeted event, that it was not a random act.' At least 10 people were injured during a drive-by shooting in a central Florida neighborhood, authorities said.
During a Monday news conference, Lakeland Police Chief Sammy Taylor said that officers arrived on the scene one minute after a flurry of calls reporting gunfire in the neighborhood. Lakeland is located about 30 miles east of Tampa
According to the police chief, the suspects were riding in a dark blue, four-door Nissan sedan with dark-tinted windows. As the car rolled by, he said, shooters fired from all four windows and the car later sped away from the scene. Taylor added:"Whether that's significant or related to this, that's unknown right now. 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."
