POSTED: Saturday, May 24, 2008
AUBURNDALE, Fla. -- Authorities say at least two members of a Tampa-area music group were among three people shot and killed inside a central Florida bar.
Polk County Sheriff's spokeswoman Donna Wood says two members of Poison Dart, a group described on their MySpace page as "Reggae/Hip Hop/Roots" music performers, were gunned down shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday
The group was at The Thunderbird Inn in Auburndale, which is about 50 miles east of Tampa.
Wood says 35-year-old Michael S. Rattigan and 29-year-old Antone G. Neely died from their injuries. The third man shot has not yet been publicly identified.
Wood says the bar was full when the shooting took place, and detectives are hoping a witness will come forward to identify the shooter.
