PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — One person was hospitalized after a shooting at a Pasco County McDonald's Tuesday morning.

The Zephyrhills Police Department said officers responded to the fast food chain on Gall Boulevard around 10:55 a.m. after receiving reports of a physical altercation involving two men.

The altercation and subsequent shooting left one person with non-life-threatening injuries. The victim was taken to AdventHealth Zephyrhills Hospital.

Police said an early investigation suggests this was an isolated incident and that there is no threat to the public. The investigation is still ongoing.

Out of an abundance of caution, Zephyrhills High School, R.B. Stewart Middle School, Woodland Elementary School and West Zephyrhills Elementary School were temporarily placed on a controlled campus status but resumed normal activities later.

Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact Zephyrhills Police at 813-780-0050 option 1.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
