Miami Beach, Florida, declared a state of emergency over concerns about spring break crowds for the second year in a row after two shootings over the weekend.
Rowdy tourists have created an “unacceptable” atmosphere of fear in the city, Mayor Dan Gelber said Monday in a joint news conference with police and other local officials. Gelber said he couldn’t allow people to come to the city only to worry about being shot.
NBC Miami reported that five bystanders were hospitalized in two random shootings over the weekend.
Police said they found two women with non-life-threatening injuries after they responded to reports of gunshots around 1 a.m. Monday.
Three other people were injured Sunday morning in a shooting on Ocean Drive near 8th Street, NBC Miami reported.
