MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Miami Beach police are investigating a shooting that injured a man early Friday morning.

Miami Beach Fire Department officials transported the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.
Northbound traffic on Collins Avenue was shut down for hours at 67th Street during the investigation, police said.
Residents in the area started their day with questions and concerns, especially when the SWAT team was spotted in the neighborhood, searching nearby apartment complexes for a suspect.
“I saw them gathering on the sidewalk with their weapons, getting ready to go inside and make sure that it was safe, and that’s when I rode my bike by and asked an officer ‘Is everybody safe?’ And he goes, ‘Yes,’” Thomas Antone said.
“It just happened so fast,” another resident, Rene Welcome, said. “I saw people and then I saw the police having it roped off and stuff ... It was worse than I thought.”
According to authorities, a person of interest has been taken into custody for questioning.
No other details were immediately released.
