ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was arrested Wednesday after police said a fight at basketball courts at a park led to a shooting over the weekend.
Investigators said a 38-year-old man was at the basketball courts at Fossil Park around 8:15 p.m. Sunday when a fight broke out between him and several players.

The 38-year-old man remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Anderson faces charges of attempted murder in the second degree and two counts of violation of probation, police said.
