Details of the Shooting Incident in Sanford
According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, none of the victims involved in the shooting at Cabana Live in Sanford suffered life-threatening injuries. All 10 individuals who sustained gunshot wounds were treated at a local hospital, with most of the injuries located below the waist.
Witnesses to the event recounted that the shooting erupted following a physical altercation. A person not involved in the initial altercation brandished a handgun and started firing into the crowd. Quick thinking by a security guard nearby led to the gunman being subdued and disarmed.
Law enforcement officers were able to swiftly apprehend a 16-year-old suspect in connection with the shooting. The suspect faces charges of attempted homicide, discharging a weapon in a public setting, utilizing a firearm in the commission of a felony, and illegal possession of a firearm as a minor.

Coach Ryans expressed excitement at the prospect of Dell’s return to the team.
