At least two women were injured in a shooting that occurred this Saturday in Miami, police authorities reported.
The rescue teams, units of the Police and the Fire Department of the city received a call at 4:30 in the morning that warned of a shooting in the area of Northwest First Avenue and 45th Street, reported the local media. 7 News WSVN.
Upon reaching the area, they found the two women with gunshot wounds. Both were taken by paramedics to the Ryder Trauma Center of Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The current status of the victims is unknown.
The Miami Police later informed that any information regarding this fact reported to (305) 603-6640 or to Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS may be rewarded with up to $5,000 dollars.
Miami has become a place of frequent shootings and incidents involving acts of violence and the use of firearms.
recently passed away a young Cuban woman following being the victim of an attempted robbery and a subsequent shot in the face. The incident occurred in the middle of the street in the Pinewood area of northwest Miami, an area that a neighbor described as “very violent.”
Francisco, a Cuban-American who arrived in Florida in the 1960s and has lived in the neighborhood for more than 40 years, explained in statements to Univision 23 that he is already adapted to live between shootings.
To prove his point, the man invited the reporter to a singular “tour“following the route of bullet impacts in the area: it showed bullets in bars, vehicles, house facades and even a shot that entered through the window of a house and fell into a glass of water.
At the beginning of the year, another 19-year-old Cuban girl who had recently arrived in the United States died following being shot in the abdomen during a shootout in Collier County, Florida.
The county sheriff, Kevin Rambosk, admitted that the girl’s death might have been prevented by using adequate security measures and urged the gun owners in the region that they be careful with their equipment and that if they have any doubts regarding its use, they should go to the headquarters of the forces of order to ask for guidance.
Despite these facts, the governor of Florida, the Republican Ron DeSantis, promised last May a law so that residents of that state can carry weapons without the need to apply for a permit.
For years, gun rights advocates have been pushing for Florida to be a constitutional state and for compliance with the Second Amendment to the country’s Constitution, which protects the right of the American people to keep and bear arms.
But this initiative has failed to convince Republican leaders in Tallahassee for two decades to raise the few limitations on gun ownership in Florida.
In the United States there are 25 states that have approved the so-called constitutional carrying of weapons, following the approval in Georgia of a law that allows it.
Data from the National Rifle Association (NRA), which has promoted this measure for 30 years, indicates that carrying weapons in public without permission is also allowed in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
