RIVIERA BEACH, Florida. (AP) — Gunfire erupted after a funeral Saturday in Florida, killing a teenager and a man and leaving one other person wounded, police said.
Riviera Beach police said in a statement that the shooting happened near the Victory City Church shortly after 2:30 p.m.
They said a 15-year-old boy and 47-year-old Royce Freeman died at the scene. The teen’s name wasn’t immediately released.
Police initially said a woman and a teenager were also wounded, but later released a statement Sunday night saying the juvenile male was shot at a different location in Riviera Beach.
The woman, whose name police didn’t immediately release, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
No arrests were announced as of late Saturday.
Police said listening devices in the area that detect the sound of gunshots counted 13 rounds fired.
