A possibly drunken conversation involving the election may have been the spark to a triple shooting that sent three women to the hospital in Miami early Wednesday morning, police said.

Around 12:25 a.m., Miami cops said a group of people were drinking alcohol and discussing the election when one unidentified suspect went to a car, grabbed a gun and began shooting at 547 NW 19th St.

Three women were struck — one suffered critical injuries, and the other two are in stable condition after the trio were rushed to the hospital.

It’s unclear if the suspect was caught.

This is a developing story.
