It seems we can’t go one day without a mass shooting in America,” Kris Brown, president of the gun safety organization Brady, said in a statement. The combined tally of 20 victims dead or injured is higher than all but five gun violence incidents in 2023 - including last week’s mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, in which 18 people were killed and another 13 injured. Only three mass casualty events this year have yielded more injuries, according to the not-for-profit Gun Violence Archive. While not all of Sunday’s victims were directly hurt by gunfire, the overall toll already ranks among the worst of any U.S. In November 2020, two Tampa shootings within the span of a week left three people dead and another 11 wounded. A year ago, one person died and six were injured in a shooting at a cigar bar and lounge in downtown Tampa. With at least 20 victims, the shooting ranks among Tampa Bay’s most destructive gun violence incidents. A cyclist pauses while caution tape is seen along 8th Avenue through Centro Ybor.
