translated from Spanish: Miami: Three shooters killed at least 2 people and wounded 20 spectators in a recital

The shooting occurred during the early morning at a billiard room located on a commercial estate near Miami Gardens, northwest of downtown. The venue held an event, and several organizers were outside the venue when an off-road van approached the site. “Three individuals got out of the vehicle and started shooting indiscriminately at the crowd,” he added. The three attackers got back in the car and fled. Upon arrival at the site, emergency services found two bodies and about 20 injuries that were referred to the hospital. One of them in critical condition. In a tweet, the director of the Miami-Dade County Police Department, Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez III, called the act “coward.” “They’re cold-blooded killers who shot indiscriminately at a crowd and we’ll seek justice,” he said. Police were seeking community help in identifying and detaining shooters. 

I am at the scene of another targeted and cowardly act of gun violence, where over 20 victims were shot and 2 have sadly died. These are cold blooded murderers that shot indiscriminately into a crowd and we will seek justice. My deepest condolences to the family of the victims. — Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez III (@MDPD_Director)

The United States has a long and painful history of deadly gun violence, with a steady number of daily shootings, as well as mass killings that have targeted schools, workplaces, and shopping malls. So also on Wednesday, a public transportation worker shot dead nine people at a California railroad station before signing up with his gun while police arrived. A record of the shooter’s house – which was burned down shortly before the attack – found 12 weapons, some 22,000 ammunition and alleged Molotov cocktails. The coronavirus pandemic paused this growing spiral of violence, but the reopening of many companies sparked a new wave of gunfire. In recent months there have been attacks at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, an office building in California, a grocery store in Colorado and several Atlanta spas. U.S. President Joe Biden called gun violence in his country last month an “epidemic” and “international shame.” Last year, there were more than 43,000 gun-related deaths in the United States, including suicides, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
