At least 10 people are injured, police have said, and one person is in critical condition. It is not known who at this stage.

According to WSVN, a witness said the robbery of a watch and wallet escalated the situation.

They said: "It was like at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle. I took off running, and I was looking back.

"But I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just duck first, and then people started asking me, you know, ‘Can you help me?’ When I realized people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot."

"We’re still working. We can’t confirm any numbers at this moment, because everything is still fresh, and they’re still investigating."
