For the second straight year, Miami Beach is imposing a curfew on thousands of spring break revelers following a violent weekend in which shootings left multiple people injured on the city's famed main drag.
Miami Beach city leaders declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew from 12:01 a.m. to 6 a.m. this weekend.
"We just simply cannot have people coming to our city and have to worry about being shot," Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber said during a news conference Monday.
The move comes on the heels of two shootings that erupted on Ocean Drive on Sunday and early Monday morning, leaving five people injured, police said.
