A man was taken to the hospital after an officer was forced to fire their weapon in Miami Shores on Sunday, police said.<\/p>\n
According to Miami Shores Police, officers arrived at Tropical Chevrolet at 8880 Biscayne Boulevard after receiving reports of a man who was carrying two large-edged weapons and was causing a disturbance.<\/p>\n
Police said the man left the dealership before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
Sometime afterwards, an officer found the man near the intersection of Northeast 86th Street and Biscayne Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Video sent to NBC6 shows the man with what appears to be something in his hand running towards the officer.<\/p>\n
The officer fires his weapon at the man.<\/p>\n
Only In Dade video shows the aftermath of the incident, where the man appears to be on the ground being placed on a stretcher.<\/p>\n
Police said the officers treated the man, and he was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.<\/p>\n
His identity and condition were not released.<\/p>\n
No officers or civilians were injured in the incident.<\/p>\n
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will take over the investigation, which is standard whenever an officer fires their weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was taken to the hospital after an officer was forced to fire their weapon in Miami…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,2601],"class_list":["post-315113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-shores"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315113","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=315113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
