HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - The youngest victim of Monday’s mass shooting in Hollywood is home from the hospital.
One-year-old Amari was one of nine people who were injured.
The child was struck in the foot.
Thursday night, the child’s parents issued a statement. It reads:
“We would like to thank all of the nurses and staff at Memorial Regional and Joe DiMaggio [Children’s] Hospital for their amazing care of Baby Amari and for all they do daily for families. Gun violence is a national crisis, until our government steps in and creates a solution to this problem, mass shootings will continue in this country. Our hearts and prayers go out to tomorrow’s victims and to the past victims of gun violence. Gun violence is becoming normalized and America should be more diligent in making a change!”
Surveillance video on the Hollywood Broadwalk captured the chaos that unfolded when a fight between two groups of people ended in gunfire.
Two 18 year-old men were arrested on firearms charges.
The search continues for three people who are suspected of being the shooters.
