A Responding Officer Neutralises The Suspects
According to authorities, a security guard located the culprit and attempted to defuse the situation.
According to a press conference conducted by the Miami Dade Police Department, the suspect then shot and murdered the security guard and was later killed by a responding police officer.

Additionally, Zabaleta stated that four victims were in serious condition after being transferred to trauma centres, while two victims were stable.
“As of right now, we are aware that two officers from the City of Doral Police Department have fired their weapons, but as I previously stated, only one person has been hurt by gunfire,” Zabaleta stated.
“To obtain all the information, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is still speaking with all of the witnesses present.”
The cause of the altercation is being investigated by investigators.
