At least three people were injured and two were arrested after a shootout in broad daylight in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood Tuesday afternoon that was caught on camera.
The shooting happened around 1 p.m. in the area of 18th Avenue and Northwest 64th Street in Gladeview.
Aerial footage showed a large police presence at the scene as officers and first responders assisted two people who were on the ground and appeared injured. Both were placed in the back of ambulances.

Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said two people were standing on a corner when a dark-colored SUV drove by.
Multiple people inside the SUV opened fire and there was a shootout, Zabaleta said.
Surveillance footage showed the SUV rolling down the street with its doors open as multiple people jump out and at least one opens fire with a rifle.

"You can see that some of them hang outside the window, open the door. They open the door a little bit and they opened fire towards the people that were standing there," Zabaleta said.
At one point in the video, another man falls to the ground and drops a rifle, then runs away leaving the weapon behind in the street before a woman walks up and moves it off to the side.
Footage from another angle shows a man standing behind a dumpster before he pulls out a rifle and opens fire on the SUV, which rolls to a stop at the dumpster.
Zabaleta said three people who'd been in the SUV were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with gunshot wounds. All of the injuries were non-life threatening.
"It was an exchange of gunfire, you can see that there's several casings on the ground," Zabaleta said. "The amount of gunfire, the amount of rounds that were shot, it's a miracle that nobody else was shot."
One person was detained at the scene, but the driver of the SUV fled in an unknown direction, Zabaleta said.
Two high-powered rifles were recovered at the scene, Zabaleta said.
“We were here working, I was in the van and suddenly a shooting of automatic weapons bursts, people running, firing shots, guns at the side," a witness, who only wanted to be identified as Omar, said in Spanish. "I hid, I couldn't see anything else, just a lot of shots until the police arrived."
It was learned Wednesday that two men who police said were in the SUV and had opened fire had been arrested.
Kelvin Henry Jackson and Christopher Green, both 36, are facing charges of attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and using a firearm while committing a felony, according to arrest reports.
Jackson suffered two gunshot wounds to his left thigh and Green was shot in his left ankle and left knee, the reports said.
According to the reports, one of the men who returned fire on the SUV told detectives he'd been involved in a road rage incident with the SUV in which police were never called.
One of the shooting victims who wasn't in the SUV, 30-year-old Delonyte Gause, was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, police said.
