As many as 10 people were shot outside a popular soul food restaurant Thursday night in Miami Gardens when an argument between two groups of people escalated to gunfire, APA reports citing MiamiHerald.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many people were injured nor what led to the 8 p.m. shooting, the souce said. There may have been up to 10 people hit by gunfire, according to a law enforcement source. As of 2 a.m., police hadn’t reported any deaths or arrests. The source said one of the shooting victims was in critical condition. Several of the injured were spotted at different locations not far from the restaurant after scattering following the gunfire. At Jackson Memorial Hospital, the victims’ loved ones waited patiently overnight with somber faces hoping for positive news. Before the shooting, according to Miami Gardens police spokeswoman Diana Delgado-Gourgue, the victims were outside of The Licking around Northwest 176th Street and 27th Avenue where a large crowd had gathered.

Miami Gardens Police Chief Delma Noel-Pratt said investigators were looking into reports that a video was being shot in front of the restaurant. “We believe it’s an isolated incident,” she said.
