A bar at a famous outdoor mall in a Miami neighborhood was the target of a shooting early on Saturday morning, which resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to seven more.
An fight that took place inside a martini bar located within the CityPlace Doral complex occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Saturday, causing a security guard who was working the scene to interfere.
This information was provided by local law authorities. After then, a man who had been involved in the incident displayed a firearm and proceeded to shoot and murder the security guard.
The alleged gunman was subsequently shot and killed by the responding police, but not before the shootout resulted in the injuries of one officer and six citizens who were bystanders.
After being shot in the leg, the cop was categorized as stable, but two of the bystanders were listed as being in critical condition according to the medical reports.
A person was brought into custody, and it was determined that this person was the individual with whom the gunman was arguing. An investigation of the use of force by the local police officer is currently being conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
At a press conference held on Saturday, a spokeswoman for law enforcement stated, "It is too early to tell who was shot by who, but we are actively investigating that incident."
One year ago, officials stated that law enforcement organizations in the Miami area had carried out a training exercise at CityPlace Doral that involved a large number of casualties. In 2017, CityPlace opened its doors as a mixed-use development that encompassed 55 acres and cost $800 million. It had over forty restaurants and retail establishments, in addition to a residential complex.
