William Suedois said, “About 3:15 or 3:30 in the morning, I heard three initial gunshots.” “Didn’t really know where it was coming from. I thought it was fireworks. Then I heard maybe 10 or 15 voices immediately after that – very, very loud and very loud. It was very scary – very scary.”
Police said they were not looking for any suspects, but several witnesses were detained for questioning.
Emphasizing that police cannot assure that such an incident will not happen, Lopez said: “We cannot know for sure when and how such an incident will happen in South Florida”.
