FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Police say a shooting at the ZombiCon gathering in Florida killed one person and injured four others.
Lt. Victor Medico of the Fort Myers Police Department said the shootings began at 11:45 p.m. Saturday, The News-Press reported (http://newspr.es/1jMJamf ). He said police were searching for a suspect, and the four people hurt had injuries that were not life-threatening.
No details were immediately available about the suspect or victims. Police did not immediately return a phone call.
The annual festival had been expected to draw more than 20,000 fans dressed as zombies, the newspaper said. Medico said the scene was described as “shoulder to shoulder.”
A statement on the ZombiCon Facebook page said organizers were saddened by the news and the group takes the safety of its patrons very seriously.
