Also the local channel WPLG Local 10 News reports that up to 25 people have been shot and two people have been killed.
The mass shooting is said to have taken place in El Mula Banquet Hall, which is adjacent to the County Club Shopping Center in the Miami district of Hialeah, ABC News journalist Parker Brenton reported on Twitter.
According to Brenton, the injured were transported to several different hospitals nearby, some in private cars, while others were driven by the fire department.
