Two people were killed and up to 25 people wounded in a mass shooting at a concert early Sunday morning in Northwest Miami-Dade, officials say. One of those injured is in critical condition, according to police.
The shooting started after midnight at a concert at a billiards hall in the 7600 block of Northwest 186th Street, an unincorporated area of the county west of Miami Gardens, Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez said.

Some concert-goers where outside when a white Nissan Pathfinder pulled up, Ramierz said. Three unidentified people stepped out of the SUV with assault rifles and handguns and began shooting into the crowd.

. . .

Two people were killed in the hail of gunfire and 20 to 25 others suffered gunshot wounds. One of the injured is in critical condition. The injured were taken to several different hospitals.

. . .

This is the second major shooting in the Miami area over the Memorial Day weekend. Late Friday into Saturday, one person was killed and six others wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Wynwood area of Miami.

1. 3 shooters this time. This is nuts.

Hope the find them and we learn more about the motive.

2. Is it an epidemic, a fetish, or a power trip?

We can't seem to get any laws passed, and sometimes not enforced.

Have psychologists weighed in? In any comprehensive, meaningful way.

8. Where was the good guy with a gun

10. Indeed. Fuck the NRA.

11. If they were there, they were ducking for cover.

Because when you are minding your own shit and someone surprises you by unloading a semi-automatic rifle in your general direction, that side arm you have on you isn’t going to help.

On Friday night, a drive-by shooting in Wynwood left one dead and six wounded. Authorities were alerted by ShotSpotter, an audible detection system that relays the sound of gunfire.

On Sunday morning, a law enforcement source said officers who arrived to find victims lying in the road outside the rented party venue likened the scene to “a war zone”.

With almost all pandemic restrictions lifted, visitors have swelled numbers in Miami, a popular vacation destination, for the Memorial Day weekend.

Police have not said if they believe the shootings are linked, but said that it appeared the victims were targeted in both attacks.
After the Friday incident, detectives found shell casings from at least two types of weapon.

15. Wynwood is Puerto Rican and known as El Barrio there. Hialeah is 73% Cuban.

The El Mula club is on the route between those two huge neighborhoods.

Rubio's got some 'splainin' and politickin' to do.

Trumpcult is warming up on minorities right there in trump's home state.

13. Deadlier than Covid-19

Social distancing, masking won't save you from a determined gun-infected murderer, and there is no vaccine.

Covid-19 might be less of a threat, but getting shot to death is still a stopper to going out for shopping, entertainment, education, and working.

Damn the killers to hell.

Only 2 Dead? Big Deal.
