16-year-old suspect was arrested in the Florida case Sunday and taken to a juvenile detention center. He was charged with attempted homicide, firing a weapon in a public place, using a firearm during a felony and illegal possession of a firearm by a minor.
The shooting happened during a crowded, late-night event at Cabana Live in Sanford, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Orlando. The venue's website says it's a restaurant that rents cabanas and hosts pool parties and other events.
Witnesses told law enforcement the shooting started after a fistfight broke out. Someone who wasn't involved in the melee drew a handgun and began firing toward a crowd of people, the arrest report said. A security guard standing near the gunman wrestled him to the ground and disarmed him.
