I saw this elsewhere - strangely enough mostly on foreign media. Supposedly 2 dead, 15 wounded.
It must not fit "The Narrative".

I'm near Ft Myers on vacation. When I saw the news my first thought was gang shooting.

Earlier reports mentioned the shooter jumped out of the car, and at some point grabbed on to an 18-wheeler before jumping off and fleeing in to the woods. Sounded like some stuff out of a movie.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A judge on Wednesday dismissed a manslaughter charge against a Florida deputy who claimed self-defence in the 2014 fatal shooting of a 33-year-old black man carrying what turned out to be an air rifle. Witnesses during the Peraza hearing described how 911 callers were reporting a man carrying a rifle, possibly a shotgun, down a busy street in broad daylight. In previous hearings, Jermaine McBean has been described as being bipolar and recently recovering from a serious mental episode. He had just purchased the air rifle at a nearby pawn shop. Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Peter Peraza testified that McBean initially carrying the camouflage-designed rifle like a cane, and then put it across his shoulders behind his neck in a common military style as he approached his apartment complex, where families with children crowded a pool area. Suddenly, he said, McBean turned and pointed the gun at the officers. Peraza fired three shots, killing him. "I've never been so scared in my life," Peraza testified.

Go to a bar area, late at night. Should be in bed like us old farts.
I think the crime stats suggest that at night you have more drunks and fights in the bar areas. Nothing wrong with going to a nice bar to have a drink at lunch or dinner. Later in the evening, after 10:00 PM, the level of intoxicated people increases.
Shit. I've been doing it wrong all these years, going to bars at night and all like a normal person.
I must be really lucky; I don't recall ever even witnessing a bar fight, at any bar, in any city. And I opt for dive bars over anything else. Been to exactly one "nice" bar in the past five or so years, 18 bucks for a Hendrick's. Ridiculous.

The things, IME, that result in bar fights are gang BS and 18-25 yo dumbshit bros fighting over girls.
I've seen more bar fights in (fancy) uptown Dallas than I have in all the dive bars I've ever been to. The dive bars' customer base skews older and less interested in showing off - more "check out my sweet bike" and less "why you looking at my girl, bro"?
I have never seen a bar fight before 12 midnight. And I've spent a good portion of the last 15 years in bars.
