Neighborhood left looking like a “war zone” after gunmen open fire on passing car
A fierce barrage of gunfire sent residents scrambling for cover and left a South Florida neighborhood looking like a “war zone” this week, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded during the overnight hours on Wednesday in Miami Gardens.
Surveillance videos circulating on social media show a group of suspects opening fire on a passing car with “high-powered weapons,” according to NBC 6.

At least five armed suspects were reportedly waiting for “rivals” to pass through before they unleashed a hellish barrage of bullets.
The heavily-damaged vehicle crashed into a fence at the home of 68-year-old Louis Rivera and the occupants bailed out and ran for their lives, footage shows.
Rivera says his wife and young daughter hid in a room during the traumatic ordeal while he armed himself and called 911.
Residents heard 50 or 60 shots during the ambush, which sent dozens of rounds into homes and parked cars.
“The truck got hit like 12 (times),” one man said. “We got to continue living life. It’s normal. It’s everywhere. It’s Miami Beach, Brickell. It’s gonna happen everywhere, to be honest.”
An investigation is ongoing but authorities have not released much information about the shootout.
