At least three people were shot after a gunman stormed a Florida car dealership and started shooting on Thursday afternoon.
Cops raced to the scene after a man wearing a face mask opened fire with a rifle at a business in a warehouse area in Miami-Dade.
The gunman died at the hospital, Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz confirmed on Thursday.
He reportedly shot himself, according to ABC affiliate WPLG.
Three people, including the shooter, were transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital for treatment after the shooting.
The conditions of the two other injured people are unclear.
Cops confirmed the shooter died by 2:10 pm.
Witnesses said the shooter was using a rifle and wearing a face mask when he entered the building.
Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office officers rushed to the scene shortly after.
Video captured tense moments as deputies moved in with shields raised and weapons drawn, approaching a warehouse unit.
Graphic footage from the scene showed a person lying motionless on the floor inside the car repair shop.
Video also showed cops swarming around the warehouse, which was covered in broken glass.
Moments later, several individuals were seen sprinting out of the building with their hands in the air as law enforcement evacuated the area.
A gun could be seen lying on the floor of the shop.
Special response team swept through the complex, clearing buildings and guiding people to safety.
Witness Taryn Leighton said she was returning from lunch when law enforcement vehicles began speeding past her.
“I pulled over, thinking it was just an accident,” she told NBC affiliate WTVJ.
“Then I saw officers suiting up with tactical gear and armor, so I quickly parked across the street.”
Another witness described seeing the shooter draw both a handgun and a rifle before opening fire on an officer.
The witness then fled into a nearby warehouse for safety.
SWAT officers were also seen inspecting vehicles parked outside.
Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The U.S. Sun.
A massive police presence remains at the active scene.
Although there’s no longer any imminent threat, cops asked people to avoid the area.
“This is still active and you could stay out of this area we would really appreciate it,” Cordero-Stutz said.
