A man was killed, a woman hospitalized and a person was in custody after a shooting in North Bay Village Monday morning, officials said.

North Bay Village Police responded to a call of possible shots fired just before 8 a.m. at an apartment in the 7900 block of East Drive on Harbor Island.

When officers arrived they found a man standing outside one of the units with a gun in his hand.

Officials said officers also found the man's body and the woman suffering from gunshot wounds in the unit. She was taken to a local hospital where she was in critical condition.

NBC 6's Xochitl Hernandez has more on the shooting that left one man dead and a woman in the hospital.

The armed man was taken into custody. Officials haven't released the identities of anyone involved.

Officials said it appeared to be a domestic-related incident. They said a 2-year-old girl was inside the home at the time but wasn't harmed.

The girl was placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.

Neighbors said they were woken up by a barrage of gunshots.

"I live on the second floor, I heard like 10 rounds,” said one man who lives In the building. "It was real, I was sleeping, I thought it was a dream."

The case was transferred to the Miami-Dade Police Homicide Unit, officials said.
