An evening of St.
Patrick's Day celebrations ended with one person dead and two others injured in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, on Sunday, police said.
Police continued to search for what they believe may be more than one shooter in the violence in a nightlife district of downtown Jacksonville Beach teeming with holiday celebrants and spring breakers, a city police spokesperson, Sgt.
Tonya Tator, said at a makeshift news conference.
Mayor Christine Hoffman said that the violence may be the result of separate incidents but that the root of it was still a matter of active investigation.
"There were several different incidents that were … potentially unrelated," she said at a separate news conference.
"So we want to know as much as we can find out." Tator said the injured were stabilized at medical facilities.
Information about the two, as well as about the deceased, such as age and gender, was not available.
