“One individual was met with a gunshot wound to the back which exited the front region of his body. He was taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where he is listed in a critical but stable condition. Let me say that this individual is from Biscayne Village and the day before had a misunderstanding with his girlfriend and so we’re looking at that angle of it.”
