Three gunman dressed in all black stormed a birthday party on the edge of downtown Miami and opened fire early Monday, shooting 12 people and causing a chaotic scramble as they tried to flee, authorities said.

Three of the wounded were hospitalized in critical condition, police spokesman Det. William Moreno said. Another person fleeing the home was struck by a vehicle and was in stable condition. Police are searching for the suspects.

The men opened fire with automatic weapons around 12:45 a.m. One AK-47 and two pistols were found. It was unclear if the shooting happened in the home or outside what authorities described as a block party.

Clicky the Linky

Fully automatic weapons, Ak-47, some pistols... yatta yatta yatta..

Only problem, click on the "click here for photos" link and you get...

A .410 shotgun shell.

Okay, technically you can get a Saiga .410 and convert it to AK apperance.. How many of us think standard street thug A is gonna do that though?

You expect any different from the rags that we have as newspapers here?

Probably similar to the aviation coverage, don't have a clue what theyre talking about.

All airplanes are Jumbo Jets, and all guns are AK-47s...

Einstein said two things were infinite; the universe, and stupidity. He wasn't sure about the first, but he was certain about the second.

Son of a bitch! They fired 99 rounds and only hit 12 people, and only 3 of those in critical condition? Sounds like they need a few more shooting lessons, they're an embarrassment to their hood!

You know as well as anyone one of the biggest life saving concepts for police is the fact hood rats can't shoot.

I don't have the link right now, but the local rag has the chief of police saying they believed at least one AK was used. Surprisingly, I won't fault the media this time.

Timoney is a screwball nut. He sees the gun boogeyman everywhere.
