A lot of people get shot fighting in it (6,5)

'a lot of people' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'shot fighting in it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'shot' could be 'scene' (synonyms) and 'scene' is located in the answer.
'fighting' could be 'battle' and 'battle' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
