Six people shot Sunday evening in Tarpon Springs

Officers from the Tarpon Springs Police Department are investigating after six people suffered gunshot wounds Sunday evening.

On Sunday, May 1, 2022, at approximately 7:26 p.m., the Tarpon Springs Police Department received multiple calls in reference to gunshots being heard in the area of Safford Avenue and Boyer Street.

Upon arrival at the scene, officers spoke with witnesses that heard the gunshots, but could not give any suspect information.

At approximately 7:32 p.m. Tarpon Springs Police were notified that there were subjects at Advent Health North Pinellas, with gunshot injuries. All arrived in private vehicles.

Upon arrival of officers at the hospital, they identified and interviewed a total of six subjects that had all arrived to the hospital with gunshot injuries, at different times.

Police say it appears as if all of these injuries are related to the same incident.

Three of the subjects have been transferred to Tampa General Hospital, in stable condition. All other subjects were treated at Advent Health.

This incident was a result of an argument between the subjects being targeted and were known by each other, police say.

No further information is being released at this time, due to the ongoing investigation.
