Unsanctioned Spring Break Gathering Draws Big Crowds in Daytona Beach
Officials coordinate with public safety after thousands gathered unexpectedly at Daytona Beach, with residents expressing concerns and deputies responding to incidents on the beachside.
- On Saturday, video recorded from an Ocean Walk Resort balcony shows people running while deputies arrive amid an unsanctioned spring break gathering with massive crowds at Daytona Beach's beachside area.
- City Commissioner Stacy Cantu said she was not made aware such a large gathering might occur, and residents expressing concern have contacted city leaders.
- Authorities clarified that dozens of deputies were on the beach during Saturday's chaos, and noises thought to be gunfire came from people crushing water bottles, not shots, officials said.
- City officials said they will team up with public safety officials to keep everyone safe, noting some people were 'in custody' while officials saw no public danger.
- Authorities emphasized that Daytona Beach Police are investigating four Saturday shootings, which are separate from the beach chaos, according to the Volusia Sheriff's Office.
