A security guard was killed and seven others injured in a shooting in Doral, a city just five miles west of Miami, early Saturday morning. The shooting occurred around 3:30 a.m. after “an altercation amongst patrons at a local establishment,” according to Doral Police Department spokesperson Alicia Neal. A Doral Police Department officer is among the injured. A security guard on duty intervened but was fatally shot by the gunman, Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said during a news conference Saturday morning. Doral police officers, who were working at the commercial establishment, responded to the scene, where they encountered the gunman and began exchanging gunfire, Zabaleta said. The gunman was killed, Neal told CNN. The shooting occurred at the Martini Bar, a nightclub in CityPlace Doral, according to CNN affiliate WPLG, who reported that officers were already patrolling the area as part of the late-night security detail. “At the present time, what we do know is that two Doral Police officers did discharge their firearm,” Zabaleta added.
