NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – Police took nearly six hours investigating a shooting incident that took place in a South Florida neighborhood.

North Miami Beach Police and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of a reported shooting in the area of Northeast 169 Street and Fourth Court in North Miami Beach after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

7News showed an aerial view of a silver car that was involved in the shooting. The car was riddled with several bullet holes on the left-hand side.

Authorities put up a temporary stop sign where a street sign and a tree was knocked down by a car involved in the incident. The car also crashed into a palm tree near a house.

Rescue crews were seen placing a man on a stretcher. It is unclear if that man was inside the silver car during the time of the incident.

The man was taken to the hospital.

Authorities also placed a tarp over the driver’s window and took the car for evidence.

It is unclear if more than one person was injured as a result of the shooting.

7News spoke with a few residents that live in neighborhood and said they heard what appeared to be two different guns.

“It was real loud, it was real loud,” said a resident. “Loud enough to make you ask, ‘What’s going on?’ Cause I know I heard about 30, it kept going. I was like, ‘Machine guns around this place?’ Then I heard a car. After the car, I didn’t hear anything else. Like, the car kind of speed up and then it stopped, and that’s all I heard, and then next thing I know, I waited a good 10 minutes, then there was police cars. I heard police cars, and then I heard ambulance.”

It’s unclear if authorities are looking for someone.

The incident remains under investigation.
