Miami Mayhem: How Much Gunfire Did We Dodge This Weekend?

| How Many Shootings In Miami This Weekend |
The Great Miami Shootout (That Hopefully Wasn't So Great)
The good news?** It wasn't a warzone out there.** There were reports of a shooting in Liberty City on Saturday, but thankfully, it sounds like only one person got hurt. But hey, even one shooting is one too many, right?
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Now, before you start hoarding pool noodles for self-defense (they're better for pool floats anyway), let's keep things in perspective. Miami has its share of troubles, but it's also a huge city. A single shooting, while serious, doesn't mean you should cancel your beach trip.
Here's the Lowdown (Miami Style)
- Number of Shootings: Thankfully, just the one reported this weekend (phew!).
- Location: Liberty City on Saturday (although, with a name like that, maybe it shouldn't be a surprise).
- Casualties: Looks like only one person got injured, but again, even that's not ideal.
So, what can we take away from this? Miami's a vibrant city, and sometimes things get a little wild. But this weekend, at least, it seems like the action stayed mostly in the movies (or reality TV, depending on your taste).
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
Important Side Note: If you ever do hear gunfire, the best course of action is to RUN AWAY and call the police. Don't try to play hero – you're more likely to end up in a superhero origin story gone wrong than anything else.
