Authorities are investigating a deadly shooting that involved a child in a Florida City neighborhood on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, officers with the Florida City Police arrived at an apartment complex on the 1400 block of Northwest 1st Court after receiving reports of a shooting.<\/p>\n
At the scene, a 5-year-old was found shot.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was heading to the complex, but officers took the child and her mother to Homestead Baptist, and she was later airlifted to HCA Kendall.<\/p>\n
Video showed the child being airlifted to the hospital as first responders performed chest compressions.<\/p>\n
The child then died at the hospital.<\/p>\n
“That’s just too small to leave this world like that, too early,” one emotional neighbor told NBC6 with her hand over her mouth. “But like I say, this area gets very rough\u2026 That is pitiful, very pitiful.”<\/p>\n
As an investigation takes place, officials said there were three adults and the child’s two children, including the girl’s 3-year-old brother, inside the residence.<\/p>\n
Authorities are not sure if the child shot herself or was shot by someone else.<\/p>\n
One person was detained.<\/p>\n
The child’s identity was not released.<\/p>\n
