9 injured in shooting at beach in Hollywood

Dramatic 911 calls have captured the chaos of the mass shooting on a beach boardwalk in Hollywood, Florida, on Memorial Day.

In the audio, released on Tuesday, terrified beachgoers are heard begging police to come to the scene of the shooting which left nine victims – including a one-year-old baby – wounded.

“Oh my God, I don’t know what’s going on,” one woman is heard telling the dispatcher.

““Margaritaville. Please, on the beach. They are shooting out here,” a panicked male voice says.

Nine people were injured in the mass shooting, including a one-year-old baby and a 17-year-old.

Two men – Keshawn Stewart and Morgan Deslouches, both 18 – have so far been arrested in connection to the shooting.

According to police affidavits, they were found with firearms in their backpacks but are not believed to have fired any of the shots.

A manhunt is under way to track down three other men suspected of carrying out the shooting.

Authorities released images of the three suspects and are asking for the public’s help in identifying them.
