RUSKIN, Fla. – Two people have been arrested after the Hillsborough County<\/a> Sheriff’s Office says they shot at an RV while people were sleeping inside.<\/p>\n

Deputies received a 911 call from one of the victims early on Saturday morning to report that a red car had driven past their RV and started shooting.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

During the 911 call that was released by deputies, one of the victims said that the car drove back and forth while someone fired shots at the RV.<\/p>\n
