Witnesses said they took off running after hearing gunshots while shopping on Saturday in southern Miami-Dade County.
Videos show the fear in and out of the Walmart Supercenter, at 33501 South Dixie Highway, in Florida City. Police officers with the Miami-Dade and Florida City police departments and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel responded.
“Everybody started running toward the back … we went out the back door where everybody piled up,” said Robert Malneo, who waited outside of the store after police responded.
A witness recorded a video showing Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel with a handcuffed man on a stretcher who they wheeled out and placed in an ambulance. A Florida City police officer, who did not appear to be injured, was also in the ambulance.
A distraught woman who identified herself as a relative of the traumatized loss prevention employee said a retail theft suspect who had been detained pulled out a gun after a police officer left the two in a room. Police had yet to confirm her account on Sunday afternoon.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.
