Two killed and 20 injured after shooting outside concert in Florida
- Three gunmen pulled up outside a billiards hall and opened fire indiscriminately before feeling the scene
- ‘These are cold-blooded murderers that shot indiscriminately into a crowd, and we will seek justice,’ police said
Two people were killed and at least 20 injured on Sunday when three shooters fired indiscriminately into a crowd outside a concert in Miami, Florida, local police said.
Gunfire erupted during the early hours outside a billiards hall in a row of businesses near Miami Gardens, northwest of the coastal city’s downtown.
People crowded the venue, which was “hosting a scheduled event and several patrons were standing outside”, Miami-Dade Police Department said in a statement.
When a Nissan Pathfinder SUV approached the scene, it added, “three subjects exited the vehicle and began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd”. The trio then got back in the car and fled the scene.
When authorities arrived, they found two people dead, according to the statement. At least 20 people were hospitalised, with at least one in critical condition.
In a tweet, the department’s director, Alfredo Ramirez, condemned the “targeted and cowardly act of gun violence”.
