A shot was reported at Ybor urban center in Tampa quest, Florida, on Friday. Reports indicated that the incident took place near the Columbia Restaurant on 2117 E 7th Ave.
One person wrote on Facebook, “If y'all going to ybor don't go down 22nd there was a shooting by Columbia Restaurant.”
Local media reports suggested that there was heavy police presence in the area. One person was reported shot and was transported from the area in an ambulance.

Connor and Brandon Dietrich were among the many hurt and Connor remains in critical condition. They were out with their friend on Friday night, when cops said a driver lost control of his vehicle and slammed into the crowd outside Bradley’s on 7th Avenue. Robert Dietrich, their father, told News Channel 8 “You see your son like that, it tears you apart… it’s rough, it’s rough.”
Noting that Brandon was the only one to avoid serious injuries, he also shared an update on Riley's condition. “Riley is in rough shape, she got beat up pretty hard,” he stated.
Speaking about the other victims, the family patriarch added, “Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones that didn’t survive… but the outpouring from people we have never met is very comforting for us.”
