One man was taken to the hospital after a shooting early Thursday morning outside a UPS facility, according to Hialeah police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Investigators said they received word of shooting at LeJeune Road and E 56 Street around 3:30 a.m. When officers arrived, police said they found a man with a gunshot wound hiding in the parking lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hialeah Fire Rescue took him to the Ryder Trauma Center, his condition was not released.<\/p>\n
Police said officers detained several people attempting to flee the area.<\/p>\n
What led to the shooting is under investigation.<\/p>\n
A friend of someone who works there said he got a text around 3:30 a.m. saying he was in danger, and about to be “jumped.”<\/p>\n
“He tells me before something happens to me, come here, something is about to happen, I’m about to get jumped. That’s what he said. So, I came,” the friend, who did not wish to be identified, said.<\/p>\n
“He probably saw it coming. He was working by himself. He probably saw a bunch of people trying to jump him and he probably stood his ground. Anybody would have stood their ground,” he added.<\/p>\n
UPS released a statement which said, “We’re aware of a situation outside of our Hialeah facility. As this is an active police investigation, we’ll refer you to the authorities for additional questions. However, UPS operations are not affected.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One man was taken to the hospital after a shooting early Thursday morning outside a UPS facility, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226,1638],"class_list":{"0":"post-2783","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hialeah","8":"tag-hialeah","9":"tag-hialeah-headlines","10":"tag-hialeah-news","11":"tag-hialeah-police"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
