MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A drive-by shooting in northwest Miami-Dade left three people injured.

According to Miami-Dade police, the shooting happened near a home along NW 58th Street and 23rd Avenue Monday night around 10:30 p.m.

A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, told CBS 4 News a mother and her sons live at the home and believes they may have been the victims.

A man and a woman were rushed to the hospital for treatment. The man had been shot in the hand and leg, the woman sustained a gunshot wound to her leg. Both were listed as stable. A second man was grazed on the chin and drove himself to the hospital.

Another neighbor, who also asked to have their identity concealed, said she heard the gunfire.

"I was getting ready to go to bed and that's when I heard the shooting," she said.

The woman said she heard two rounds of rapid gunfire.

"It wasn't no pow, pow. It was like a machine gun or something, fast and loud," she said. "The second time it was a boom, boom, boom, boom. It knocked the cable out in this area."

She said she injured her back while trying to get to safety.

"I was on the couch and I was like, 'no, you gotta get to the floor,' because the way it was coming it was like right in front of my house," she said.

The woman said this was not the first time something like this has happened and she's ready to move.

"I've been here for 30 years and my son was like mom it's time for you to go," she said.

Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to call the police or Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
