Authorities are searching for a suspect after a 12-year-old girl was shot in the Gladeview area of Miami-Dade early Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said.<\/p>\n
Deputies responded to the gunfire just before 1 a.m. at Northwest 21st Avenue and Northwest 64th Street, where they said they found the girl “with an apparent gunshot wound to the upper extremities and immediately rendered aid.”<\/p>\n
Investigators later said the girl was shot in the arm while sitting in a car with her three siblings. Two other vehicles were also shot. <\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took her to the hospital in stable condition, and she has since been released.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBullets hit three vehicles, including one with children in the car, authorities said. NBC6’s Julia Bagg reports.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Video of the scene shows authorities surrounding a home and blocking off the roadway. More than two dozen evidence markers could be seen on the street.<\/p>\n
Neighbor Marie Grimes remembered hearing the gunfire before she found bullet holes in her car. She said she’s grateful the outcome was not any worse.<\/p>\n
“Yes, because there’s a lot of children that stay down there. I’m just so glad she’s OK,” she said. <\/p>\n
