Three people were shot, including a minor, late Tuesday afternoon in a Miami-Dade County neighborhood after an argument outside a home erupted in gunfire.

One victim, a 15-year-old girl, was grazed by a bullet and released at the scene.

Two others, an adult male and female according to police, drove themselves to a local hospital. The man is in critical condition, according to Miami-Dade police spokesman Det. Alvaro Zabaleta.

The shooting happened just after 4 p.m. in a residential community at Southwest 177th Street and 105th Avenue in the West Perrine neighborhood.

Zabaleta said police first responded to the hospital and that officers at the scene later found the teenage girl, who was grazed by gunfire.

It wasn’t immediately clear what started the argument. CBS News Miami footage showed an area cordoned off with yellow police tape, as well as several police vehicles in the area
