MIRAMAR, Fla. — Two people were killed and another was injured in a shooting outside an IHOP restaurant in South Florida on Wednesday, authorities said.
The three adults knew each other and there was no threat to the city of Miramar, said Janice McIntosh, a spokeswoman for the Miramar Police Department.
“We're not looking for any suspects at this time,” McIntosh said. “We want to reassure the public that this wasn't a random act of violence.”
Police officers responding to reports of shots being fired at the restaurant found the wounded in the parking lot. Paramedics took them to a nearby hospital where two of them died.
McIntosh said the police department wasn't immediately releasing details on the identities of those who were shot, the motive or the person or people who opened fire because of the investigation.
Miramar is located in southern Broward County, near Miami-Dade County.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
