"Violence and Chaos Spark Miami Beach Curfew and State of Emergency"

A state of emergency was declared in Miami Beach after two fatal shootings occurred over the weekend during spring break. A brief curfew was imposed, and officials will meet to discuss further restrictions for the coming weekend. Despite efforts to keep violence at bay, the crowds and firearms have created a peril that cannot go unchecked, according to Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber. The recent violence happened despite an earlier last call for alcohol and the city's efforts to control the situation.
