Florida Highway Patrol is looking for your help if you have any information about a shooting that happened just after midnight on the Howard Frankland Bridge, according to the Tampa Bay Times. A 40 year old man and 47 year old woman from Clearwater were heading to Tampa on the northbound side of the bridge. Sometime around 12:30am, the Times reports shots were fired from a black car.

Both riders were injured and taken to the hospital. No further word on their condition. But if you have any information to share that might help investigators piece together what happened, you’re asked to call Florida Highway Patrol at 813-558-1800. [Source: Tampa Bay Times]

  • It’s the Howard Frankland not Howard Franklin like most transplants and tourists call it. Frankland was a rubber magnate who saw a big economic benefit of the bridge.
