(UPI) -One man died and three others were wounded just after midnight Saturday in a wild shooting spree that shattered car windshields and sprayed two apartment buildings with gunfire, police said. Two unidentified assailants escaped after the shooting. They fired at least eight shots, some from a handgun, officers said. Residents of the area said 15 shots or more were fired. "You take your pick on a number," police spokesman Tom Hoola-ha- n said of the shots fired. "Everybody has a different number." Officers found the dead man in an alley between two white stucco apartment buildings in the poor, predominately Latin neighborhood of south Miami Beach where the incident occurred, Hoolahan said. He was shot in the back and neck, possibly while trying to flee his attackers, police said. He was not identified. Another critically wounded man was found nearby in the alley, and the two other wounded were discovered one-hablock away lying in a street, Hoolahan added. The critically injured man was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and the two other injured men to Mt. Sinai Hospital on Miami Beach. They all underwent surgery early Saturday. Police had not yet determined the names of the four Latin men, Hoolahan said. The motive for the shooting was uncertain. Police with high intensity lights scoured the murder scene early Saturday morning and climbed onto building roofs with extension ladders in their search for clues. Shattered glass was strewn about the one car whose windows were burst by the gunfire. Officers also were looking for a dark blue Chevrolet Vega possibly used by the attackers, Hoolahan said. er lf A Proven Leader Wv Mike Ferre B Chief of Police, for 15 years. pfl B The protection of our citizens, particularly with respect to violent crime and security of the home and place of Pleasant Grove, Utah, fl Past president, vice president and secretary of Utah State Chiefs of Police (Association) B Graduate of Utah Police Academy and Gormac Polygraph School.
