Police at the scene of a shooting that left at least five injured during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration in Miami. Three people were transported by emergency personnel to a hospital, and others brought themselves in for treatment after a shooting during a Miami Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, reports CBS Miami.

A law enforcement source told the station that at least five people were shot during the incident, which occurred at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park. The source said two of the wounded were in critical condition.

The station reports that one person is in custody, and a gun believed to be used in the shooting has been recovered. Celebrants had gathered at the park following the city’s annual parade to honor the civil rights icon. Police have not said if a motive in the incident is known.

Was someone disrespected? Was that the cause? In ghetto culture, the worst thing you can do to someone is to “diss” or “disrespect” them. And in ghetto culture the response to being dissed is violence.

Hey, you dispectin' me.....Take him out!
You gotta keep 'em separated.

It all started over an argument about who was better, The Mills Brothers or The Ink Spots.

Here lies the real problem in Miami.

Caribbean Island Blacks and Pan-African Blacks do NOT mix well. Caribbeans are generally very peaceful and loving spirits, not angry or hostile or racist.

Somebody scheduled a combo event, big no-no.

“The Pan-African & Caribbean Family Festival was happening at the park Monday to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.”

Seeing how Christians and Jews are regularly targeted by muzzies during Christmas season I cannot really get on board with your remark.

Well, you clearly implied or suggested this is, "Christmas" season this was a terrorist attack. No?

If you have more information regarding this terror incident, please post it.

And whites are now 30-35% single parent families, if not greater.

Dissed. Or it was the wrong mix of people. See post #25.

Look... your glib comment about violence on MLK Day suggests an insensitivity about people dying during a CELEBRATION. In my view, it is the same as Christians or Jews dying during Christ’s birthday and is not really a matter to laugh about or take lightly. I feel bad about anybody dying during a celebration.

That is all and I am done connecting dots for you.

Only 5? Certainly they can do better than that.

MLK had his faults, like we all do; he had weaknesses as well as strengths - this quasi-republican has voted “R” since Reagan V. - 1.0

I will always agree with his statement (it is simply the Golden Rule re-packaged.) And look what the Dems did to desecrate his lofty message! GRRR!

They didn't need a motive ... they were celebrating!

Tell me, what does an MLK celebration have to do with Christmas?

And I had no idea this was a terrorists attack. Can I see your link? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me why?
