An off-duty police officer was involved in a shooting early Wednesday that left a person critically injured, authorities say.<\/p>\n

Around 1:10 a.m., Miami Beach police rushed to South Pointe Park, 1 Washington Ave., upon reports of a shooting, Miami Beach Police spokesman Christopher Bess said.<\/p>\n

A person, who was not identified, was found struck by a bullet and was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

Detectives’ initial findings show that the off-duty officer was involved in an incident with the other person and a gun was fired.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear for which agency the officer works.<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting, as is protocol when an officer is involved.<\/p>\n
