TheMiamiHerald.com–Two Miami Beach officers are in the hospital early Monday morning in the wake of two early morning shootings, including one in which police opened fire.
Their injuries are not life-threatening, said Miami Beach Police Sgt. Alejandro Bello.
Detective Jenny Velazquez, a police spokeswoman, confirmed that two officers were receiving treatment at Mount Sinai Medical Center with unknown injuries.
But with a number of officers from different police agencies helping patrol the Urban Beach Week crowds on South Beach, Velazquez said details remain sketchy.
“Everything is very cloudy right now,” she said.
Velazquez said the police-involved shooting happened just before 4 a.m. in the 100 block of 15th Street.
A second shooting, which Velazquez happened too recently to have much information, erupted in the 1300 block of Washington Avenue.
One was killed in the shootings, according to sources, but Velazquez said that is not confirmed.
Velazquez said more details will be forthcoming.
