Shooting breaks out in middle of Daytona Beach street

Investigators are trying to find the person who was throwing money out of a car into a massive group of people.

Then, not long after this, a shooting occurred at a 7-Eleven gas station along Ocean Avenue. Two people were shot and four others were injured. The investigation is still active as police continue their search for a suspect.

In addition, the beaches were packed. One beachgoer, Kaliyah Anderson, told FOX 35 Orlando that "it's been packed. Everybody is just -- I don't think people really care about the quarantine."
