A 7-year-old child was shot and killed after an altercation between two groups led to gunfire on July 4th, according to Tampa police. During a news conference Wednesday, Tampa Police Department Deputy Chief Calvin Johnson explained police responded just after 8:30 p.m. to the Courtney Campbell Causeway near the boat ramp on reports of a shooting. When the shooting started, the grandfather of the 7-year-old reportedly grabbed him and pulled him into a truck to avoid getting hit. But when they were inside the truck, a bullet went through and struck the grandfather's finger before hitting the child's head. The 7-year-old was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital where he later died, according to Johnson. Witnesses were able to tell authorities that the shooting started all because of two groups arguing over Jet Skis. One group was mad that the other people were riding too close to the shore where kids were playing in the water, the deputy chief said.
