2 dead, 10 wounded in Miami shootout

MIAMI — Police say two people are dead and 10 others are wounded following an early morning shooting in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood.

The dead include a 20-year-old man and a teenage girl. Police also say a 17-year-old girl was critically wounded in the shooting, which happened near an intersection around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Miami police spokeswoman Frederica Burden says investigators are still trying to figure out what happened. The sidewalk was littered with dozens of spent shell casings marked by blue police cones and shattered glass by mid-morning Tuesday. Some relatives standing nearby said they were afraid to talk about the shootings.

A spokeswoman at Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital said she couldn’t release information, including how many people were brought there. She also said the patients had chosen not to release information about their medical conditions.
