Miami Beach forced to impose curfew to clamp down on violent Spring Breakers
The Miami Beach City Council was forced to impose a curfew after violence broke out during spring break, NBC Miami reported Monday.
There were two separate shootings over the weekend with five hospitalized, the report explained.
"Our city is past its endpoint," said Mayor Dan Gelber. "We can't endure this anymore."
The curfew will go into effect after midnight on Thursday and run through 6 a.m. Monday.
"We just simply cannot have people come to our city and have to worry about being shot," Gelber said. "That's not a way a city can operate."
