WASHINGTON. Three men armed with rifles and pistols broke into the El Mula event hall in Hialeah, Florida, killing 2 people and wounding 25. The “Miami Herald” reported that a manhunt is underway to stop the responsible. At least one of the injured is in serious condition, while several people have been transported to hospital. A concert was in progress in the hall when the three gunmen started firing on the crowd. “We believe it is a targeted act of armed violence,” Miami-Dade police director Alfredo “Freddy” Ramiriez told the newspaper. “This is a despicable act of gun violence, a cowardly act,” he added.
The shooting began after midnight in a pool hall where a concert was being held, Miami Police Chief Alfredo Ramirez said describing the dynamic. Three people armed with guns and assault rifles got out of a white Nissan Pathfinder SUV and started shooting at people waiting to enter the concert. “Every weekend is the same story. It is a targeted act, it is certainly not accidental, ”said the police chief. This is the second shooting in Miami this weekend. On the night between Friday and Saturday, one person was killed and six others were injured in the Wynwood area.
