TAMPA, Fla. — Two people are dead and one is injured after a shooting in Tampa.
Officers on patrol heard shots fired and responded just before 3 a.m. Sunday to a parking lot near the intersection of South Howard Avenue and West Horatio Street, Tampa police said.
Three adult men were injured and transported to the hospital where two died and one was injured after he was shot in the leg. Police said the shooting stemmed from a dispute, and the people involved knew each other.
