At least 10 people were injured in a shooting outside a Miami Gardens, Florida restaurant where rapper French Montana was shooting a music video, according to a statement from the restaurant and Miami Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR).
“Our hearts are heavy and go out to the victims of this senseless act,” The Licking, a restaurant group owned by DJ Khaled at several locations, told CNN in a statement.
“We were not aware of the video being filmed and found out at the last minute that the (ute) French Montana was shooting a scene in the back parking lot. We do not know exactly what happened,” the statement continued. “The Licking restaurant has nothing to do with the incident and the necessary footage has been requested from the police.”
CNN has reached out to Miami Gardens police for details on the shooting investigation.
According to MDFR, emergency units were dispatched just before 8pm ET when they received reports of a mass casualty incident.
“Upon arrival, fire units found several patients with traumatic injuries. In addition to finding injured patients at the initial location, firefighters also encountered other injured patients outside a nearby fire station,” emergency officials said.
According to the MDFR, “Firefighters immediately began triaging the patients to assess their injuries and transport them to the hospital.” “As a result of the incident, a total of 10 patients were injured. Four of the patients self-transported to local hospitals. MDFR transported the remaining 6 patients to local trauma centers by ground and air rescue.”
CNN has reached out to French Montana representatives for comment.
