Witness give statements about the incident
Eyewitness Ced Mogul claimed that the shooting reportedly broke out after someone stole the keys and wallet of a man.
Additionally, the witness was interviewed by WFOR-TV where he said that nearly 13 to 15 gunshots were fired before everyone started to flee from the place.
He continued, ‘It was like at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle. I took off running, and I was looking back, but I was like, “You know what? Let me just duck first.” Then people started asking me, you know, “Can you help me?”‘
Additionally, he mentioned, ‘When I realized people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot.’
Besides that, Miami Gardens police spokesperson Diana Gourgue announced that currently as many as 10 people were wounded in the incident.
She said, ‘Right now it is just multiple victims that were injured.’
However, she refused to give any more details on the current medical condition of those hurt. But reportedly there have been no fatalities in the mass shooting.
