The shootout involving high-powered weapons that shook a Miami Gardens neighborhood earlier this week was targeted and gang-related, the police chief said Friday.
Miami Gardens Police Chief Delma K. Noel-Pratt said in a news conference that the public should not be in fear.
"I would like the public to know that they should not be in fear, because as you can tell, it was a targeted shooting," Noel-Pratt said.
Neighbors around the 4200 block of 196th Street told NBC6 they heard at least 50 rounds fired from high-powered weapons just after midnight Wednesday.
