Police are searching for the suspect in the downtown Fort Myers shooting that left one person dead and four others injured.

The shooting happened in the 2200 block of First Street around 11:45 p.m. -- while the annual Zombicon event was going on in downtown Fort Myers.

Thousands were filling the streets for the city's annual Zombicon Fest when witnesses say they heard eight to ten pops. Many immediately recognized it as gunfire and went running in every direction. Crows of people were running in fear, not knowing what happened.

” Crows of people were running in fear, not knowing what happened.”

This is from Professionals.
I need to save it for the next Spelling Nazi that pisses me off.
But I have to admit, the thought of a large flock of crows stampeding through the streets does make me smile.

The TV news report said it was mass confusion because everyone was dressed like zombies. Responders had a hard time determining who was injured and who was just wearing a bloody looking costume.

This is sick, in that at least one person has died. but I found that to be funny. (these are sick times)

I’m guessing the four wounded didn’t have head shots; the shooter(s) may not be a fan of zombie lore...

Crows of people were running...


A bunch of crows is a mob, so I guess it fits. A Mob of people were running.
