MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Outrage, again, over the shooting of another South Florida teenager.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho tweeting Tuesday morning about the shooting of a 17-year-old boy, saying it's the "4th reported young victim of a shooting so far this summer break."
A 17-year-old rushed to a trauma center after bullets pierce his body. This is the 4th reported young victim of a shooting so far this summer break. We must not normalize this kind of violence by letting our outrage subside! #SeeSomethingSaySomething

Police say it was a drive-by shooting.
The teen was standing in front of a home with a group of other people along the 3000 block of NW 45th Street Monday night around 8:30 p.m. when a car passed and someone inside opened fire.
"Individuals were outside of a residence when a blue Hyundai Elantra going eastbound on NW 41st Street fired a gun, which struck the teen," authorities said.
Paramedics rushed him to Ryder Trauma Center and he is expected to be okay.
Police continue to look for that blue Hyundai Elantra.
