Fifteen people shot during party at Miami club

Fifteen people, ranging in age from 11 to 25, were shot and wounded — at least one critically — at a party early Sunday morning at a Miami nightclub, according to Miami police.

The shooting happened at The Spot on Northwest 64th Street at Seventh Avenue at about 1 a.m.

When police and fire rescue arrived, they found “chaos,” said Miami Fire Rescue Capt. Ignatius Carroll.

“There were a lot of people outside,” he said. “Some were helping their friends who had been shot.”

“Shots were flying everywhere,” she said. The witness said it appeared that groups of people of people were shooting at each other. The door was open during the firefight and she said she could see flashes inside.

Figure it out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-your-ground_law

In the United States, stand-your-ground law states that an individual has no duty to retreat from any place they have lawful right to be and may use any level of force, including lethal, if they reasonably believe they face an imminent and immediate threat of serious bodily harm or death.

Forty-six U.S. states have adopted the castle doctrine, stating that a person has no duty to retreat when their home is attacked. Twenty-two states have removed the duty to retreat requirement from other locations as well,[1] "Stand Your Ground", "Line in the Sand" or "No Duty to Retreat" laws thus state that a person has no duty or other requirement to abandon a place in which he has a right to be, or to give up ground to an assailant. Under such laws, there is no duty to retreat from anywhere the defender may legally be.[2] Other restrictions may still exist; such as when in public, a person must be carrying firearms in a legal manner, whether concealed or openly.

To one 28-year-old woman who was across the street when the shooting started, it seemed as if the shooters were trading fire, with 100 or so clubgoers caught in the middle. The front door to the club was open at the time and the woman said she could see the flashes of gunfire inside.
