Another shootout in the ‘hood

The news spread quite quickly today that there was another shooting in North Miami Beach. In broad daylight.

Yes, shocking. I know.

Today’s round of gunfire took place at 1204 NE 159 Street, as reported by Local 10 this morning shortly after eleven o’clock. A couple of hours later, it was being reported that an arrest had been made.

I don’t care what anyone says (you know who you are!), damn good work by the NMBPD!

According to a Miami Herald report, the shooting victim was actually the aggressor who shot first at a man returning to his home. North Miami Beach Major Kathy Katerman was quoted as saying, “It sounds like one gentleman was just coming back to his home, and he returned fire.”

Because apparently that’s how two gentlemen settle a dispute these days. With bullets.

I still love you guys, but I so don’t miss the old ‘hood.
