The episode began shortly after 4 p.m., when the two carjackers burst into Regent Jewelers, a shop on “Miracle Mile,” an upscale shopping destination in Coral Gables, in Miami-Dade County, Chief Edward J. Hudak Jr. of the Coral Gables Police Department said at a news conference. Police officers responded to reports of the robbery within a minute and a half, but by that time the robbers and the shopkeeper had opened fire on each other and the robbers had fled.
The chief said that at least two employees, a man and a woman, were in the store at the time of the robbery, and that the woman was injured. He said it was not clear if the suspects had succeeded in stealing anything from the store before they fled.
The melee continued as the robbers fled the store, with gunfire striking a window at City Hall, which is across the street from the jewelry store, according to Chief Hudak. The suspects left the area in a truck but soon abandoned it and hijacked the UPS truck at gunpoint, kidnapping its driver as well, he said.
