A spring break party at an Airbnb in Bradenton on Tuesday night ended with gunfire and partygoers running for cover, police say.
The party was held at a residence in the 3200 block of Southern Parkway West in Bradenton.
Bradenton Police Department Spokesperson Meredith Frameli told the Bradenton Herald that around 11:30 p.m., officers were called to the home after receiving noise complaints from neighbors.
Once the police arrived, the partygoers started to “scatter,” Frameli said.
The officers then heard gunshots around the corner from the party.
They found three homes with bullet holes in them and bullet shells, which were collected as evidence, Frameli said.

Let me guess, none of those attending were students.
Likely coming soon to a government auction site near you: a six-bedroom, six-bath vacation rental home, with pool and hot tub, conveniently located just three miles from Walt Disney World.
Sold less than three years ago for just $410,000, it was a real steal because the $410,000 in cash used to buy the property – federal prosecutors now allege – were proceeds of $1.7 million in fraudulently obtained Paycheck Protection Program loans.
As NBC 6 Investigators first reported in March 2022, one of the companies getting the PPP money bought the house just 18 days after getting its $400,000 PPP check.
That’s just one part of a criminal complaint that alleges Jose Alfredo Fernandez, owner of a now-defunct Miami tax preparation business, defrauded the government of nearly $5 million.
In addition to the PPP fraud, Fernandez is accused of cashing over $900,000 in fake checks and obtaining more than $2 million in fraudulent tax refunds from 2016 to 2019, in part by stealing the identities of clients of his tax preparation business.
Fernandez first caught the attention of the NBC 6 Investigators in 2016, when clients of his Miami tax preparation business claimed he filed false returns in their names that produced inflated refunds — and then kept the refunds.
Fernandez soon moved to Georgia, where the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia filed a five-count criminal information against him on Jan. 25 alleging wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to court records.
LoanDepot cut more than half of its employees in 2022
National Mortgage News|14 hours ago
LoanDepot shed more than half of its employees in 2022, an earnings report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday revealed. Rocket Mortgage and United Wholesale Mortgage took similar measures in reaction to market volatility and low origination volume last year.

Warms my heart.

Zelensky digs in against calls to quit Bakhmut (3/17/2023):
“Doubts are growing about the wisdom of holding the shattered frontline city of Bakhmut against relentless Russian assaults, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is digging in and insists his top commanders are united in keeping up an attritional defense that has dragged on for months.
Fighting around Bakhmut in the eastern region of Donbas dramatically escalated late last year, with Zelensky slamming the Russians for hurling men — many of them convicts recruited by the Wagner mercenary group — forward to almost certain death in “meat waves.” Now the bloodiest battle of the war, Bakhmut offers a vision of conflict close to World War I, with flooded trenches and landscapes blasted by artillery fire.”
Meat waves?
All The Right People are making Too Much Money for this war to ever end (hand rubbing intensifies).
“The long-running logic of the Ukrainian armed forces has been that Russia has suffered disproportionately high casualties, allowing Kyiv’s forces to grind down the invaders, ahead of a Ukrainian counter-offensive expected shortly, in the spring.
Criticism has been growing among some in the Ukrainian ranks — and among Western allies — about continuing with the almost nine-month-long battle. The disquiet was muted at first and expressed behind the scenes, but is now spilling into the open.”
BBC — Ukraine will remember who backed us – foreign minister (3/17/2023):
“Countries that “mistreated Ukraine” will be held to account after the war ends, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has warned.
In a BBC interview he said the choice every nation made following Russia’s full-scale invasion will be “taken into account in building future relations”.
Sounds like extortion.
“Although Ukraine has received military and economic support from Western powers since Russia’s invasion, many countries in Africa, Asia and South America have stayed on the sidelines.
Some are historically sympathetic to Russia, some are concerned about the economic costs of the war, and others believe the West is prolonging the fighting unnecessarily.
But Mr Kuleba made clear that countries which failed to support Ukraine now – those, he said, which had “misbehaved in the course of this war and mistreated Ukraine”, would pay a price in the future.
And, he says, Ukraine has one crucial factor on its side: “Historically, Ukraine was unfairly under-appreciated, and I regret it took a bloodshed and a devastating war for the world to realise how cool we are.
“And we will always be cool. But it just took you too much time to realise that.”
Countries that “mistreated Ukraine” will be held to account after the war ends, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has warned.
An empty threat if I ever heard one.
And yeah, the global south is done with the GAE, which is suddenly very keen on recruiting deplorables into its armed forces.
One in five Americans supports a ‘national divorce’ (3/16/2023):
“Roughly 66 million people, or approximately 20% of United States citizens, believe a “national divorce” would be a good idea for the country, according to a poll released on Thursday.
“Americans’ deep political fault lines are clear and engrained in our psyche and politics,” Cliff Young, president of Ipsos U.S. Public Affairs, which conducted the poll, told Axios. “Talk of national divorce or secession leaves us with a divided nation with little hope of reconciliation.”
Why would any Real American want “reconciliation” with Marxist globalists?
“The discussion around a “national divorce” was ignited by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who said there should be a “divorce” between red and blue states, which would shrink the federal government. Greene clarified that she was not calling for a “civil war” but that she was concerned the country was heading in that direction.
“People are absolutely fed up and disgusted with left-wing insanity and disaster America Last policies. National divorce is not civil war, but Biden and the neocons are leading us into WW3 while forcing corporate ESG and gender confusion on our kids,” Greene said in a tweet last month.
Imagine if flyover could successfully withhold producing FOOD and ENERGY for Coastal California, New York City, and most importantly, Washington DeeCee.
These Marxist globalist nests of degeneracy and parasitism produce nothing that the rest of the country needs or wants.
