Tragic Fourth of July Shooting Claims Life of 7-Year-Old in Jet Ski Dispute

A 7-year-old boy was shot and killed during an argument over jet skis on the Fourth of July in Tampa, Florida. The shooting occurred when one group became angry that another group was riding their jet skis too close to the shore where children were playing. The child's grandfather managed to pull him into a nearby truck, but a bullet went through the vehicle, hitting the grandfather in the finger and the child in the head. The child was pronounced dead at the hospital, while the grandfather sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Tampa police are seeking leads to bring the shooters to justice and are urging the community to address the issue of gun violence.
