Three killed in Miami-Dade shooting

Three people are dead and among them is a female corrections officer. Nine others were injured in an incident described by police as a "targeted shooting" in southwest Miami Sunday morning.

The shooting was posted on a Twitter by Miami-Dade police and people were asked to avoid the area due to increased police presence. It occurred inside a strip mall parking lot near Miami Dade College's Kendall campus, WTVJ-TV reported and the mall contains two businesses a restaurant and a hookah lounge.

Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo "Freddy" Ramirez III told WSVN-TV that a graduation party was concluding at around 2 a.m. People were milling about in the parking lot when a car pulled up and began to open fire into the crowd.

A corrections officer with the state of Florida died at a nearby hospital.

Two people died after crashing into a wall at Miami-Dade College. A gun was found in the back of their car Ramirez said it was unknown they died after getting shot or crashing into the wall. The injured self-transported to hospitals.

So it sounds as if everybody was packing heat.

Police are looking for two cars believe linked to the scene of the shooting.

"It just goes to show you the magnitude of this gun violence issue," Ramirez said, referring to the guns and not the criminals using them as weapons. "It doesn't just affect the community, it affects the law enforcement community as well."

One week ago, a shooting in northwest Miami-Dade killed three people and injured 20 others. Authorities are still searching for the suspects. One victim, a woman, died Thursday.

It's time to fund the police and find those with illegal firearms and arrest them because it isn't the legal firearms causing the real trouble. and it sure isn't AR-15s.
