Miami Gardens police swarmed the scene, roping off the entire plaza as crime scene tape surrounded the parked bus.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, it all began with a disturbance onboard the bus. <\/p>\n

Police say the driver got into “an argument or disagreement of some sort” with passengers before it got heated.<\/p>\n

At some point during the altercation, police said the driver pulled out a gun and shot two male passengers, reports Local10<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Both victims were airlifted to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital in critical condition, but neither survived.<\/p>\n

The bus driver is currently being detained as detectives dig into what led up to the deadly encounter. <\/p>\n

Police have not yet confirmed whether the passengers were armed or if the driver will face charges.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

It comes after at least three people were dead and another 15 injured in a devastating mass shooting at a park in New Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A 16-year-old boy and two men aged 19 were among the victims killed in the shooting in the desert city of Las Cruces.<\/p>\n

Three killed in DMV office shooting in Louisville as two women and man gunned down in broad daylight & suspect on loose<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

More than a dozen gunshot victims – aged between 16 and 36 – were rushed to all three local hospitals where they are currently being treated.<\/p>\n

Cops have launched a manhunt for those behind the attack, with it not yet clear how many gunmen opened fire on the group of people.<\/p>\n

Heartbreaking video shared online appears to show the shooting unfold with the sound of bullets ripping through the air followed by piercing screams as the victims ran for their lives.<\/p>\n

As people ducked behind vehicles for safety, one man could be heard screaming “get in my truck” with people falling to the ground in panic.<\/p>\n

In the background the revving of engines could be heard as the person filming the video frantically got in their vehicle and fled the immediate area.<\/p>\n

The suspect – or suspects – opened fire at around 10pm on March 21 in Las Cruces’ Young Park – a music and recreation venue.<\/p>\n

Out of the three killed, two died on scene and the third in hospital, officials confirmed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a three-year-old girl fatally shot her baby sister in the head after finding a loaded gun in her home.<\/p>\n

The girl’s dad has been arrested and charged with murder after his daughter shot the one-year-old with his gun.<\/p>\n

The one-year-old was taken to Wesley Medical Centre where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

The fatal shooting happened back in February after Michael Tejeda, 25, allegedly left the gun lying around in his home in Wichita, Kansas.<\/p>\n

Tejeda had been looking after the girls while their mum was out, and told the cops he had fallen asleep while watching TV at around 6pm.<\/p>\n
