NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - An investigation is underway after a police-involved shooting in Northwest Miami-Dade.

According to Hialeah Police, officers returned fire after being shot at by two suspects wanted for numerous armed robberies.

It all started in Hialeah at around 2:10 a.m., Friday, and ended in the area of Northwest 29th Court and 76th Street, not long after.

Yamileth Bilbao, a nearby resident, describes what she heard outside her window. “It was scary,” said Bilbao. “It wasn’t one or two. It was like, ‘tuhrrrrrrrr.’ It was a lot.”

7News spoke with a woman who lives in the area and said she woke up to the sound of gunshots. “It was just constant shots, back to back, 10 to 15,” said Adelen Ramos.

Officers shot the two suspects, and rescue crews transported them to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where they are listed in serious condition. Their identities remain unknown.

Back at the scene, there was a massive police response throughout the morning – detectives blocked off the neighborhood, processing the two cars involved for hours.

7 Skyforce hovered above a bullet riddled car and a police cruiser, as detectives snapped photos for evidence and placed down markers by shell casings.

The gunshots shook up neighbors.

“It’s a very dangerous situation to be in, with these people living here like this,” said Ramos. “I’m getting cameras for sure – definitely a surveillance system.”

The officers involved have not been identified, but they were not injured.

The neighborhood remained cordoned off for hours, as both Miami-Dade Police and Hialeah PD investigated. The scene has since cleared.
