 Police Department spokesman Detective Daniel Ferrin says in a news release that two suspects are being questioned about the Monday afternoon shooting. He says two firearms were recovered and the active investigation is continuing. 
 
 The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/2ji9upu) reports that hundreds of people had gathered in the park after the annual MLK Day parade in the Liberty City neighborhood in northwest Miami-Dade. 
 
 Ferrin says the victims range in age from 11 to 30, with five listed in stable condition and one critical. He says two juveniles grazed by bullets were treated and released on the scene. ||||| MIAMI - A pickup truck carrying two wounded Miami-Dade police officers sped up to the doors of Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital on Monday night. 
 
 The officers, who are members of a violent crime task force, were ambushed at about 10 p.m. while they were conducting surveillance at an apartment complex in the 1900 block of Northwest 59th Street as part of a multi-agency operation on gang activity, Maj. Hector Llevat said. 
 
 "One of the officers was able to return fire," Llevat said. "Individuals like this that have the audacity to ambush a vehicle unprovoked and open fire like that are individuals in this community that are causing havoc and terrorizing this community day in and day out. These are the officers that were out here to put a stop to that." 
 
 Officers in the area sprung to action after the shooting. 
 
 "They could smell the gunpowder," Miami-Dade police Director Juan Perez said. "They were running after the smell of gunpowder, trying to find these individuals." 
 
 The wounded officers were rushed to the hospital in the bed of a pickup truck and were able to limp inside with the help of their colleagues. They were identified Tuesday as Terence White and Charles Woods. White is a 26-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Department, while Woods is an 11-year veteran. 
 
 "We do whatever we have to do to save our officers," Perez said. "We got lucky tonight that the officers will survive. It's not going to deter us. In fact, what this does is the opposite. This burns a fire inside of us right now to continue to work even harder." 
 
 The officers were in stable condition at the hospital Monday night while the shooters remained at large. Woods, who was shot in the leg, has been released from the hospital. 
 
 "These are the people who are shooting our kids," Perez said. "These are the people that shoot at the Martin Luther King parade. These are the people who are causing that havoc in our community, and we're not going to stop. This isn't going to deter us from doing our jobs. This is going to ignite a bigger fire within us to protect our citizens, our communities and our neighborhoods here in Miami-Dade." 
 
 Perez asked the public for prayers for the two injured officers and called on anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. 
 
 "That's what these guys are, murderers in our community. So let's get together, let's work together, to find a resolution to what occurred here tonight," he said. "Point us in the right direction." 
 
 Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez echoed Perez's message and said attacks on officers will not be tolerated. 
 
 "You can see by the tone and also the look on their faces, we're all united," Gimenez said. "Whoever perpetrated this crime against our two officers, we're going to do everything in our power to arrest them and bring them to justice." 
 
 He asked for those with information to come forward. 
 
 "If they can shoot a police officer, they can shoot at anybody," Gimenez said. "So we want to put these perpetrators away before they hurt anyone else or, God forbid, kill somebody else, because they have no regard for anything in our community. They don't deserve to be walking the streets of Miami-Dade County." 
 
 Police released a description of one of the two shooters. 
 
 That person is described as being between 17 to 18 years old and was last seeing wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt that was closed in a way so that only his eyes were shown. 
 
 Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

 Police have released 17-year-old Trevon Johnson's name and mug shot Friday afternoon. The mug shot provided was taken from a prior arrest earlier this year. 
 
 According to Miami-Dade Police, at around 5:30 p.m., the 54-year-old homeowner was alerted of the attempted burglary from an alarm system at her residence, located near Northwest 72nd Street and 19th Avenue. "We received a call, possibly of her alarm going off," said Miami-Dade Detective Dan Ferrin. "As she was en route to the home, the police was called out as well." 
 
 The homeowner said when she arrived at her home, she saw Johnson attempting to break in. Investigators said the homeowner pulled up to her home and went room to room. 
 
 Police said the altercation ended with at least one gunshot and the suspect bleeding on the ground. "At that point, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the scene and transported the victim to [Ryder] Trauma, where he later was pronounced deceased," said Ferrin. 
 
 Back at the scene of the break-in, crime scene detectives and homicide investigators spent hours picking up every piece of evidence they could find. Police said the homeowner has been cooperative throughout the investigation. Officials worked through the night and into the morning on this case and checking out her story. As of Friday afternoon, officials have confirmed that her story checks out. 
 
 Ferrin said the most significant details of the investigation may come from the woman who, police said, pulled the trigger. "She's very cooperative, she's been talking to our detectives, she's gathering all the information," he said. "You have to remember, she's 54 years of age, OK? She's a person that obviously is a little distraught because this is her home that someone obviously was in." 
 
 Meanwhile, at Jackson Memorial Hospital, 7News cameras captured Miami-Dade Police officers speaking with a doctor who then comforted the family of the deceased teen. 
 
 Detectives are attempting to determine whether there is surveillance video of the incident, as well as how many shots were fired during the confrontation. Ultimately, they said, it will be up to the State Attorney's Office to decide if charges will be filed against the homeowner. 
 
 If you have any information on this incident, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
