Two people hospitalized after drive-by shooting outside North Miami home
Two people were shot outside a North Miami home Monday afternoon — the sixth known instance of gun violence since Thursday in Miami-Dade County.
North Miami police Maj. Kessler Brooks told the Miami Herald that two people were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital after multiple shots were fired outside a home at 12705 NW 10th Ave. on Monday.
Video footage obtained by the Miami Herald shows the moment when shots were fired, around 7 p.m.
A white sedan pulls up in front of the home as a person walks away from it through the gate of a chain-link fence. Another individual emerges from the backseat of the car with a gun drawn and immediately fires multiple shots at the person on the sidewalk. After a few seconds, the shooter jumps in the backseat of the car before it speeds away.
Police were at the scene investigating late Monday. Law enforcement sources said one person who was shot in the chest is in critical condition, and another who was shot in the leg is stable.
