Three women and one man were taken into custody following a fight and shooting at a Florida Chuck E. Cheese.
The incident happened just before 5 p.m. Saturday in Brandon, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says.
Deputies received multiple calls about shots fired near the pizza restaurant. Detectives learned an altercation took place inside the establishment, and a private security guard attempted to relocate the crowd involved outside into the parking lot.
As the involved parties were relocating, a woman allegedly brandished a firearm inside the Chuck E. Cheese vestibule. The security guard attempted to remove the firearm from her possession, but at some point, she lost possession of the firearm outside the business.
