At least eight people have been shot at a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration in Fort Pierce, Florida, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's office said. One person was in critical condition, police said.
Four other people were injured in the chaos following the gunfire, according to the sheriff's office.
People had gathered at Ilous Elise Park for a "MLK Car Show and Family Fun Day." The event included live music, activities for children, a local car show and other events to "honor and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr," the city of Fort Pierce wrote.
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
