According to investigators, just before 6:30 p.m., today, officers were dispatched to reports of three people shot at an apartment complex, located at 2429 NW 50 Street. Responding officers discovered an 18 year old male, a 15 year old female, and a 14 year old male, all suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The minor female victim sustained a gunshot wound to her lower abdomen. The minor male sustained a gunshot wound to right leg and the adult male sustained a gunshot wound to the right hand. The three victims were taken to Jackson Ryder Trauma Center by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel in stable condition.
