News Crew Almost Hit in Drive By Shooting

It was a bit too close for comfort for a Miami News crew.

WPLG Reporter Terrell Forney and videographer Nick Lupo were out on a story when hot lead started flying.

“We were reporting outside of the flea market at Northwest 79th Street and Northwest 27th Avenue," Forney said. That’s when, just towards the end of his 6:06 p.m. report on Thursday, he said multiple shots were fired from a car. He said that one person appeared to have been shot multiple times at the flea market and he could see a Toyota Corolla riddled with bullets and a back window shot out.

“You were watching and you saw me at the beginning but there were multiple shots fire literally right next to us. We had to take cover.”

Forney was on the scene covering another shooting that happened earlier.

“Certainly it shows you just how dangerous (this is) when you are talking about gun violence. I am here reporting on another shooting that killed a 7-year-old after a feud that started at the same flea market.”

“We were able to take cover right away. But when you’re dealing with gunshots, anybody could be hit. We are safe. A bit shaken up. My hands are still shaking to be real with you,” he told Anchors Calvin Hughes and Nicole Perez.
