"Offspring of Spaniards and African women resulted early on in mixed-race children, termed mulattoes."

A teenager pulled a gun during a fight on a packed Florida beach in the
midst of spring break this week and then ran through the crowd with the
weapon in his hand.

"He's got a gun. He's got a gun," people shouted as they ran in different directions on New Smyrna Beach on Thursday. A deputy from the Volusia
County Sheriff's Office quickly intervened and barked orders at the
gunman. "Drop the f-----g gun. Drop the f-----g gun," the deputy screamed
at the suspect, who is seen in bodycam footage running from the officer.

The deputy chased him through New Smyrna Beach while still ordering him to
drop the gun, as other law enforcement officers joined the foot pursuit
and pushed back hordes of spring breakers.

The gunman – later identified as 16-year-old Felixander Solis-Guzman – ran
into the water about knee-deep, where he stood for several minutes.
Bodycam footage shows law enforcement officers with their guns drawn,
lined up along the beach.

Guzman finally dropped the gun in the water, and officers closed around
him, but the deputy yelled for them to back up in case he had another
weapon. When backup arrived, and officers took cover behind open police
car doors until the tense, five-minute standoff came to an end.

Solis-Guzman complied with police officers' orders and surrendered with
his hands up. He was arrested without further incident. Deputies found the
gun and a bag with 20 small plastic baggies of marijuana, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Behind the police, bodycam footage caught a glimpse of the large crowd
soaking in the sun in New Smyrna Beach, a coastal Florida city about 15
miles south of Daytona Beach, a popular spring break destination.

Solis-Guzman was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated
assault on a law enforcement officer, possession of a firearm by a person
under 18, improper exhibition of a firearm, commission of a second-degree felony with a weapon, resistant law enforcement, two counts of tampering
with evidence and sale of marijuana. The teenager also had seven active
no-bond warrants out of Orange County, including robbery with a firearm
and violating his probation.

Spring Break '24 is like no other Spring break in general has always been
a hot-button topic in Florida, especially in Miami Beach and South
Florida, which have seared visitors in more than 100-degree heat over the
last two weeks. Even before the annual bash began, officials in Miami
Beach "broke up" with spring break, which the New York Post called a
"bust" after week one because the crowds were virtually nonexistent.

That's exactly what the mayor and city police wanted when they imposed draconian guidelines following last year's mayhem, when two people were
fatally shot, and police made 500 arrests (including 230 felony arrests)
and seized 105 guns. The party moved up the coast to Fort Lauderdale,
which was busier than usual for the first weekend, but officials told Fox
News Digital that it had been a "successful" first weekend.

The real test starts this weekend, which also happens to coincide with St. Patrick's Day, a popular party day. "Our spring break crowds have been as expected so far this year, with this week being the busiest week we are anticipating," Casey Liening, spokesperson for the Fort Lauderdale police,
told Fox News Digital earlier this week. "We have not had any major issues
or disturbances." The second and third weeks of March are historically the busiest spring break times and attract the largest crowds.

State's ‘unprecedented’ pre-emptive strike Gov. Ron DeSantis said last
week that over 140 state troopers, along with various other state
resources, had been dispatched to South Florida as part of an
"unprecedented" pre-emptive strike against spring break crime.

The plan is to send 60 state troopers to reinforce communities throughout
South Florida, with a high concentration in Miami Beach, according to the governor. Sixty more state troopers will mobilize in additional hot spots
like Daytona Beach and Panama City Beach, and 24 quick-response troopers
will be deployed in Bay, Volusia, Broward and Miami-Dade counties for
immediate incidents.

"This is really unprecedented," DeSantis said during a March 5 press conference. "I don't think we've ever seen the state come in this forward- leaning going into a season like this." "With all things considered, I
think that we're good and prepared as we've ever been throughout my time
in the state of Florida," he said. Fox News Digital's Emmett Jones
