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

'shot fighting in it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'shot' could be 'scene' (synonyms) and 'scene' is found within the answer.
'fighting' could be 'battle' and 'battle' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'get' is the link.
