CityPlace Doral is known as a family friendly gathering place with bars, restaurants and a movie theater.

A shooting at a bar in a popular outdoor mall in a Miami suburb early Saturday left two dead and seven injured.

According to local law enforcement, an altercation at a martini bar at the CityPlace Doral complex broke out around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, prompting a security guard working the scene to intervene. A man involved in the altercation subsequently produced a gun and shot and killed the guard.

“You start hearing shots. And it wasn’t one. It was one after another, after another, after another,” recalled Peter Andres Jordan, who was in the bar at the time.

Two police officers then shot and killed the alleged gunman, but not before one officer and six bystanders — five men and a woman, according to police — were wounded in the shootout.

      Criminals have easy access to a point-and-click ranged killing machine. If they didn’t have that, crime would be much harder. Violent crime & homicides would go down.

      Guns are the problem.
