Florida police are searching for a gunman who shot three women during a heated discussion about the election, reports the NY Post. The shooting occurred early Wednesday morning in Miami. One of the victims is in critical condition.
“A group was drinking and talking about politics when the shooting suspect went to a vehicle, retrieved a firearm, and began shooting,”
said the police department’s spokesperson Michael Vega.
“They saw chaos and people running,”
he said.
“Three people were shot. The woman in critical condition was shot in the abdomen. The other two victims, one of whom was shot several times, are in stable condition.”
The victims were all women in their late 20s to early 30s, as reported by the police.
“Witnesses said one of them became upset, possibly intoxicated, and returned to the vehicle to retrieve the weapon,”
Vega explained.
He added,
“It seems that alcohol, along with the election discussion, led this person to go to the vehicle, grab a gun, and start shooting. But this is not acceptable. We have to handle our differences and respect each other’s beliefs. We need to either reach an agreement or simply avoid such topics.”
The shooting took place on the 500 block of Northwest 19th Street. A neighbor named Suly Ashe told WFOR that she heard gunshots around 12:30 a.m. Investigators are still working on identifying a suspect. No arrest has been yet.
