Police are investigating a shooting Monday morning that injured two men, sending one to the hospital.

Miami Police said the shooting took place just before 9 a.m. near the 200 block of Northwest 8th Avenue. Officers arrived and found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.

Gregorio Avile told NBC 6 he was inside the restaurant at the location when someone walked in, got into a fight with another person inside and shots were fired.

Avile was struck by a bullet and was treated at the scene. A second man was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital. His condition and identity were not released.

"I'm not surprised," said Albert Borjas, who lives next door. "This happens all the time. This place always has problems. They break bottles, there's always drunken people, knife fights...all sorts of things going on over here."

Police have also not released additional details on the shooting at this time, including possible suspects.
