OPPS NEWSONE #5 COMMENT STORY IS LONGER THEN THERES

Come on NewsOne. Do better than this. Writing misleading headlines, just to get page views?

Here is the acutal story folks, from the Miami Herald:

Twelve people were shot shortly after midnight Monday when gunfire erupted at a birthday party in Overtown.

Several people are now in the hospital as Miami police search for three shooters who walked into a home in the 500 block of Northwest Fifth Street at 12:45 a.m.

In all, four people were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition and six others were taken to Jackson, according to Miami Fire Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll. Later, police said three people were in critical condition.

When fire rescue first arrived at the scene about five minutes after receiving 911 calls, they had to set up outside the area and wait for police to arrive because there were still shots being fired in the area, Carroll said.

”It was a massive scene for a couple of blocks,” Carroll said.

According to Willie Moreno, a Miami Police Department spokesman, another person was hit by a car near the shooting.

Kedricka Hughes, 16, who was at the party, said everything was quiet before the shooting began.

”Everything was fine and then they just started shooting,” she said.

According to Hughes, the party was her friend’s 20th birthday. Luckily, he was not shot, she said.

A 19-year-old woman said the party was for a 20-year-old man who stayed in the neighborhood. He had posted fliers on his Myspace page about the party.

People started to arrive about 10 p.m., she said. The teen was standing outside before the shooting. There were about 200 people drinking and listening to rap music, she said.

The teen, who didn’t want to give her name because she was afraid, said she saw a big boy in a white T-shirt and jeans light a TNT bomb. Another man, maybe in his 20s, was holding an assault rifle, she said.

”Someone started shooting from a lot of different angles,” she said.

“I ran toward Seventh Street. I stayed until everything calmed down.

”I thought I was fitting to get shot, too. I was running away from bullets,” she said.

People were screaming and crying, running in several different directions. One of her friends was among the injured, she said.

”They were shooting everywhere. It was a lot, a lot,” the teen said.

Miami police Chief John Timoney said bullet casings found at the scene led detectives to believe at least one AK-47 and two pistols were used in the shooting. It happened during what he described as a ”well-advertised” birthday party.

A ”Happy Birthday” sign and balloons were outside the home.

”Obviously from the debris, lots of people were running,” Timoney said. “Hats were thrown off as people were fleeing the scene. It looks like a couple dozen people were there at the time.”

About 8 a.m., yellow police tape roped off several blocks around the area, a complex of one- and two-story buildings in Overtown. Crime scene investigators and detectives poured over the several block scene.

Clay Adams, 72, lives about a block from the shooting. She was sitting on her porch watching as partygoers began arriving. When she saw such a big crowd, she got nervous and went inside shortly before midnight.

She had her great-grandchildren, age 3 and 1 ½, with her. She heard shots and dropped to the floor.

The sound of the people running was like the clamor of horses, Adams said.

She stayed on the floor for several minutes. When she went outside, she saw people being taken away on stretchers.

”I’m still nervous in my stomach,” she said. “Jesus. It’s like it was a dream.”

Cheyanne Wimbley, 21, said she was inside her nearby home when she heard a large boom, followed by dozens of ”rapid fire” shots.

”I got down and I hoped nobody got hurt,” said Wimbley, who has lived in the neighborhood about five years.

”It’s devastating,” she said. “You can’t have fun in Overtown any more. I don’t want to be here any more. It’s just sad.”

Police around the country are increasingly seeing shootings with high-powered assault rifles.

”This is a sign of the times. It’s no longer a .32-caliber,” Timoney said. “We’re finding dozens upon dozens of rounds, innocent people getting hit. It’s just an awful situation.”

Anyone with information may call the Miami Police Department’s homicide detectives at 305-579-6530 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 (TIPS).
