One person was killed and seven others were injured in a drive-by shooting at a basketball court in Tampa, Fla. On Tuesday night, local authorities said.
Investigators believe a group of people traveling in a vehicle with tinted windows fired several shots as they passed people gathered near the basketball court.
An ABC affiliate reported that the shooting was not random and that the group was targeted.
The sheriff’s officer said a 36-year-old man died of injuries after arriving at hospital, while two other victims were critical and five were listed as stable. Affiliate ABC said all of the victims were between 17 and 36 years old.
Hillsborough County detectives were trying to determine the motive for the attack.

“We aim to restore peace to this community and we will continue to crack down on those who cause harm,” he added.
