Panama City Beach police and Bay County Sheriff officials held a press conference to update the community on two shootings—one occurred Thursday night near Hammerhead Fred’s off Thomas Drive and another happened last Saturday night at Pier Park.

On Thursday night, police arrested 18-year-old Issiah Tyshawn McKenzie from Alabama after a crowded event at Hammerhead Fred’s when he reportedly fired his car gun—he faces charges of firing a gun in public, having a gun during a felony, hiding his gun, and tampering with evidence with no injuries reported.

Bay County Sheriff’s Office has set a Special Event Zone in Panama City Beach that covers areas from Publix Sports Park to the intersection of U.S. 98 and Navy Boulevard and along Front Beach Road to the city limits — the zone also covers part of Thomas Drive east of Rick Seltzer Park and will be in effect until Monday, April 7 at 5 a.m. to let officers enforce occupancy limits, impound vehicles for traffic moves, and double fines.

Residents and visitors can enjoy free freshwater fishing today and tomorrow without needing a license — officials say bag limits and size restrictions remain in force.
