A mass shooting in Miami, Florida has left two people killed and over 20 others injured, including one in critical condition. Three suspects armed with assault rifles and handguns unleashed a hail of bullets at a crowd.
The incident happened on Sunday morning in Miami-Dade County, west of the incorporated city of Miami Gardens, the police reported. A number of people were standing outside of a banquet hall rented for a concert, when a white Nissan Pathfinder pulled up. The three assailants then stepped out and began shooting “indiscriminately” at the guests.

It was the second major shooting in the Miami area over the long Memorial Day weekend. Earlier, at around midnight between Friday and Saturday, one person was killed and six others injured in a drive-by shooting, which happened close to the border between the Wynwood and Overtown neighborhoods.
“This type of gun violence has to stop,” Ramirez said. “Every weekend it is the same thing. This is targeted, this is definitely not random.”
