3 killed, multiple people injured after shooting at graduation party in Miami-Dade area

At least three people were fatally shot and multiple others were injured early Sunday in the second mass shooting to erupt on consecutive weekends in Miami-Dade County, ABC News reports, citing police.

The shooting happened at around 2 a.m. in a strip mall hookah lounge restaurant following a graduation party in Kendall, Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez said at a news conference.

He said a barrage of gunfire broke out when one or two cars pulled up into the strip mall and someone inside one of the vehicles opened fire on people leaving the hookah lounge.

Police said two men and a woman were killed, and six others -- three men and three women -- were injured and rushed to hospitals in private vehicles.

The woman who was fatally shot was identified as Florida Department of Corrections officer Tyleisha Taylor, said Mark Inch, secretary of the state's Department of Corrections.

"We are devastated to learn a member of our FDC family, Officer Taylor, was killed in a fatal shooting,” Inch said in a statement to ABC affiliate WPLG in Miami. "Our prayers are with her family as they navigate this unimaginable loss."
