Officers are investigating what they say was a police-involved shooting that took place early Friday morning in Northwest Miami-Dade.
Police say the scene took place near the intersection of Northwest 27th Avenue and 54th Street in the Brownsville neighborhood after a female officer in an unmarked police car pulled over another car with six people inside.
Shots were fired with one of the people inside the car being struck in the neck. That person was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where their condition is not known at this time. The officer was not injured.
“She was not struck. However, her taser, which she was wearing on her gun belt, was struck by one of the rounds and several other rounds came very close to striking her and struck her car," said Deputy Chief Ron Papier. "But thank God, she is alive and well.”
Miami Police say three of the suspects have been taken into custody while officers are still searching for the three other people involved.
Drivers are advised to avoid the area around the scene as roads remain closed at this time.
