At least seven people have been shot, including a 15-year-old, on a packed Florida boardwalk during the Memorial Day weekend.

The gunfire started shortly before 8 pm Monday in the area of the 1200 block of North Boardwalk in Hollywood Beach, near Miami.

An online video showed the moment gunfire erupted on the popular hotspot. The crowd frantically scattered for cover and away from danger when gunshots started to ring out. 

Other videos from the scene showed emergency responders treating several victims as they lay along the sand.

Hollywood Beach Mayor Josh Levy told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that paramedics were on the scene and some victims have been taken to the hospital. 

‘It seemed like people might have gotten caught in the crossfire. But I can’t verify that’ Levy said. 

Police have not said if they have any suspects in custody.
