The man barricaded
himself in an apartment in Hialeah, a Miami suburb, where he was holding
a man and a woman hostage, city police spokesman Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez
said.
Hialeah police received a call at 6:30 p.m. of a shooting.
When they arrived at the
scene, they found two people dead from gunshot wounds and heard
additional shots in the area, Rodriguez said.
After negotiations
failed, a SWAT team entered the dwelling, rescued the hostages and
killed the gunman, who fired on them, police said.
When officers went
through the apartment complex, they found several bodies. One was across
the street, and Rodriguez said that victim may have died from a stray
bullet.
The victims are three women and three men, Rodriguez said.
Authorities believe that
while the gunman was not a resident of that apartment complex, his
mother is a tenant, said Carl Zogby of the Hialeah Police Department.
