Two men were rushed to the hospital after they were found shot in northwest Miami-Dade Friday morning.

Police were at the scene Friday morning of a double shooting in northwest Miami-Dade that sent two men to the hospital.

Miami-Dade Police officials said officers responded to the scene located in the 8000 block of Northwest Miami Court around 2 a.m. after receiving a ShotSpotter alert.

The officers found two men who were suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both victims were transported to Ryder Trauma Center and were listed in critical condition. Their identities weren't released.

A resident of a nearby trailer park said he’s not surprised by the shooting. He said he hears shootings at least once a month.

"There’s lots of drugs inside the trailer park. Drinking parties. It’s just the area," William Hollenbeck said.

Hollenbeck said other issues like speeding, car accidents that go through the trailer park gate, and drug activity also go on, things he feels go unnoticed and unsolved.

"I live here because I can’t afford to live anywhere else. Rent is going up high even here," he said.

Police have not released additional information on the shooting, including any possible suspects.
