Gunmen fired a barrage of bullets at a crowd of mourners who were gathered Friday night at a North Miami-area funeral home, shooting 14 people and killing two, according to Miami-Dade police.

The shots came from a passing car. The gunmen remained on the loose early Saturday.

Witnesses said one of the two killed was shot in the chest. The deceased were males, ages 43 and 27, according to police.

A 5-year-old girl was also shot and transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where she was listed in stable condition.

The funeral was for Morvin Andre, 21, of North Miami, killed in an earlier shooting, according to witnesses. More than 100 people were gathered outside. He was finally buried Saturday morning at Southern Memorial Park nearby.

4. This reads like a turn about is fair play

From gangs.

I wrote looks like...

Your question is valid though. This kind of shoot 'em up points to tensions.

2. Some kind of gang thing?

Since the deceased from the funeral was killed in a shooting, this sounds like some sort of retribution thing. Ugly.

6. So you think Zimmerman was right

And there is no need to investigate a crime?

Enjoy your sure to be short stay.

[im all that]

7. My, my

what simplistic thinking!

Of course investigate. But don't act like he's guilty right off the bat, 'mkay? And care enough about the more prevalent murders.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Logic fail

Asking for an investigation, and an arrest does not mean he is guilty.

Of course in your world it does.

17. You laid low for quite a while

and now have discovered a worthy endeavor. I bet you don't even mind a few drones dropped here and there...

[uppityperson]

18. And again it is gone.

16. Question fail.

Nitpicking demonstrates desire to automatically make me wrong.

Don't you DARE tell me about "my world." What is your world? Are you half-Hispanic like me? Oh, pardon me...A WHITE Hispanic (even though I don't look White at all. And neither does Georgie.) Gotta stoke those embers...They haven't erupted into flames yet...

There is a decent possibility that this is some sort of cover-up but do I think Georgie is a racist? NO! Do I think he is paranoid and overzealous? YUP!

[uppityperson]

19. Well, you would know all about paranoid and overzealous, wouldn't you?

[im all that]

9. Can someone link the good Rev.

Sharpton and Jackson's statements regarding this tragedy?

12. Police confirmed it was a white vehicle.

14. Update: Andre died from a fall, but they do think this is gang related

Andre was killed March 16 after he tried to jump 22-and-a-half feet from the fourth floor of the Aventura Mall parking garage to escape pursuit from Bloomingdale’s loss prevention employees. Andre landed on his feet, but then fell back and hit his head, according Aventura Police Major Skip Washa, a spokesman.
...
A law enforcement official told the Miami Herald that the shooting involved members of several South Florida gangs who were in attendance at his wake Friday night to pay their respects. Andre was not part of a gang himself, the official said.

Certain gang members took offense when someone touched Andre’s body in the casket, setting off an argument that spilled out into the street.

Members of one gang retrieved an assault rifle and a handgun from a car and opened fire at other gang members in front of the funeral home, a police commander told Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS 4.
