MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Authorities were called to the scene of a shooting in Miami Beach early Tuesday evening.
It happened at Ocean 9 Liquor, a store located along the 800 block of Collins Avenue at approximately 7:30 p.m.
According to police, the shooting appears to be accidental.
Investigators who viewed surveillance video said it looked like the subject accidentally discharged their gun while inside a business.
Police said the bullet hit an innocent bystander in the “lower extremities.”
The victim, a woman, was taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital by Miami Beach Fire Rescue in stable condition.
Police said the gun owner was taken into custody and the investigation is ongoing.
Officials say Spring Break has been relatively tame this year after drastic measures were taken by the city to keep crowds under control, including curfews, parking policy changes and early liquor store closures.
