A wounded suspect was in custody Tuesday morning after a pair of men opened fire on Miami-Dade police at a Florida City home and officers returned fire.
A search is on for the second suspect.
According to Miami-Dade police, officers on Monday night went to a residence at 326 NE Eighth Ave. after receiving a "gun bounty tip," police said Tuesday morning.
"As the officers approached the residence, two subjects immediately open fire at the officers. The officers returned fire and both subjects fled the area," police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said.
Police found one of the suspects, wounded by gunfire, in an area hospital. They did not release his name nor the names of the officers involved.
The second suspect remains at large.
Police recovered two guns outside of the Florida City house.
No officers were injured in the trade of gunfire that happened just before 9 p.m.
Late Monday night, a police helicopter and K-9 units circled the area with a giant spotlight apparently searching for suspects. A six-block radius around the shooting was closed off to traffic.
