A double shooting in one South Florida neighborhood is giving its residents a bad case of deja vu, while a woman has been arrested for the gunfire.
A fight escalated into gunshots Monday evening, leaving two people injured. It happened at the same place where King Carter, 6, was murdered in February.
More than a dozen shots were fired during a birthday party for an 11-year-old girl; the area was packed with children.
"When is it going to stop? Put the guns down," one parent said, who didn't want to be identified. "This is continuously a killing spot."
The shooting started with a birthday party for a little girl inside a Blue Lake Villa apartment. The party took a violent turn when a fight between the adults got out of control.
Audrey Monique Finnie, 27, was arrested Tuesday in the shooting. She's charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief. It's unknown if she's hired an attorney.
"One minute they're having fun, the next minute you're coming out your door with sirens outside," the parent added.

So many gunshots were fired, bullets hit parked cars and struck a couple who were standing outside their apartment. A man was hit in the chest and the arm, and a woman was grazed in the head by a bullet.
It's the same parking lot where King Carter was killed, while he was playing outside.
"We heard every shot," said Carter's father, who was home when the shooting happened. "All I can say is, stop it. It's getting out of hand you, have kids playing out here."
The complex is under surveillance. Employees said the shooting was caught on camera but the tape was handed over to investigators, who haven't released it.
