1 man injured, another at large after exchanging gunfire at a northwest Miami-Dade gas station, deputies say
Deputies are continuing to investigate a shootout that took place at a gas station in northwest Miami-Dade that left one person injured and another on the run.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the incident took place at the gas station located at Northwest 103rd Street and 12th Avenue just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Surveillance video, obtained by CBS News Miami, shows two men going back and forth near the gas pumps before shots are fired. One shirtless man appears to fall to the ground and then hobbles away, appearing to have been shot in the left leg. A gun is visible in his right hand.
As people scatter in different directions, more shots are fired. Some of those involved then leave in a black sedan. The shirtless man returns to a silver SUV parked at a gas pump and drives away.
A surveillance camera from a home across the street also captured the shooting.
A bullet hole was visible in the windshield of a bystander's car that was parked at the gas pumps at the time.
Josh Hodgson said he heard the gunshots.
"It was 5, 6, 7, almost 10 shots that we thought we heard. All back-to-back," he said.
He said he was at his studio next door when the chaos unfolded.
"When we were running inside, we saw multiple people running across the street through traffic just to get to safety," Hodgson said.
Deputies said the incident took place after an argument between two men at the gas station. Investigators said both men pulled out guns during the incident.
The man seen in the silver SUV was shot and drove himself to the hospital for treatment.
The other gunman fled the scene in a black sedan, and deputies still aren't sure if that person was injured.
"Nobody else was hurt, but a vehicle was struck," MDSO Public Information Officer Daniel Castillo said. "We urge the community: if they saw anything, if they could reach out to us. An innocent bystander could have been struck by the senseless shooting that occurred at the gas station."
A red car in the parking lot had bullet holes in it, and it belonged to an innocent bystander.
No other information was released.
