"I know there was some girls fighting. I don’t know what for. I think they was fighting because some beef, some smack talk," Jamari, a student at Norland, told NBC6. "I know there was two fights, one outside of the school and one happened around the back over there. It did look like a lot of people, like a lot of jumping. Two girls or two or three girls on each side.”
Police said after the fight, a parent went to the home on Northwest 197th Street of one of the teens to speak to their parent, and another altercation broke out.

During that altercation, someone pulled out a gun and started shooting, police said.
Five people, including three adults and two teens were injured by the gunfire. All were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries and later released.
"This is still being investigated. It's not a shootout, however there were some shots that were fired but we’re still trying to investigate that," Miami Gardens Police spokesperson Diana Delgado said.
An adult who is a person of interest was detained and police are trying to determine that person's involvement, Delgado said. No arrests have been made.
