Gunman Killed, 6 Hurt in Florida Shootout
Police traded shots with a gunman early Sunday on a street crowded with young people visiting this beach community for Black College Reunion weekend. The gunman was killed, and four officers and two bystanders were injured, none seriously.
The shootings occurred outside a restaurant in an area jammed with people coming out of nightspots on one of Daytona Beach’s busiest weekends of the year.
Two officers were escorting the man, who carried no identification, off the street when he shot them both in the chest, said police Sgt. Clem Malek. Both officers were wearing bulletproof vests.
