Local 10 News crew narrowly escape drive-by shooting

MIAMI, Fla. ā€“ While Local 10ā€²s Terrell Forney and his videographer Nick Lupo were reporting live outside of the Village Flea Market and Mall in West Little River, they narrowly escaped gunshots from a drive by shooting.

ā€œWe were reporting outside of the flea market at Northwest 79th Street and Northwest 27th Avenue," Forney said. Thatā€™s when, just towards the end of his 6:06 p.m. report on Thursday, he said multiple shots were fired from a car. He said that one person appeared to have been shot multiple times at the flea market and he could see a Toyota Corolla riddled with bullets and a back window shot out.

ā€œYou were watching and you saw me at the beginning but there were multiple shots fire literally right next to us. We had to take cover.ā€

Just 2 minutes later, Forney and Lupo cut the ending of the story short.

ā€œCertainly it shows you just how dangerous (this is) when you are talking about gun violence. I am here reporting on another shooting that killed a 7 year old after a feud that started at the same flea market.ā€

Forney was at the flea market to tell the story of the arrest of two suspects in the shooting of a 7-year-old girl after two men followed she and her family to their Brownsville home in July from the flea market. One of the suspects had a grievance with one of the family members, investigators said.

Forney and Lupo immediately took cover and were unharmed.

ā€œWe were able to take cover right away. But when youā€™re dealing with gunshots, anybody could be hit. We are safe. A bit shaken up. My hands are still shaking to be real with you,ā€ he told Local 10ā€²s Calvin Hughes and Nicole Perez.

Forney said police were beginning to arrive at the scene.

(Local 10 News at 11 p.m. will have more on the shooting investigation.)
