   Nearly 200 shots were fired during a gun battle between police   
   and robbery suspects in South Florida earlier this month that   
   ended in the deaths of a UPS driver who had been taken hostage   
   and a 70-year-old bystander, state officials said Wednesday.   
      
   The Dec. 5 gun battle between two suspected jewelry store   
   robbers and at least 21 police officers left 195 shell casings   
   at the scene in Miramar, according to Florida Law Enforcement   
   Department Special Agent Troy Walker's account to the Miami-Dade   
   Community Relations Board’s Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement   
   Committee on Wednesday.   
      
   "We have recovered thus far thousands of hours of videos, so you   
   can imagine the mammoth (task that it) is to review every single   
   video and to ensure we don’t miss anything," Walker told the   
   board.   
      
   #NEW @NBC6 According to FDLE agent, the autopsy reports on @UPS   
   truck driver, innocent bystander, and two suspects is complete.

   It wasn't clear how many shots were fired by police officers or   
   the suspects, a spokeswoman for the state Law Enforcment   
   Department said Thursday.   
      
   The shootout came after Lamar Alexander and Ronnie Jerome Hill   
   tried to rob Regent Jewelers in Coral Gables, police said. The   
   suspects exchanged gunfire with the jewelry store's owner before   
   they hijacked a nearby UPS truck, taking the driver, Frank   
   Ordonez as hostage, officials said.   
      
   An ensuing 20-mile chase ended in the firefight in Miramar in   
   Broward County. In the end, Ordonez; motorist Richard Cutshaw,   
   70; and the two robbers were dead.   
      
   Investigators haven't said whether the bullets that killed   
   Ordonez and Cutshaw were fired by police or suspects.   
      
   "I spoke with the families about the autopsy, but I did not   
   provide them with details because, again, I think it would be   
   premature on my part to share speculative information as opposed   
   to facts," Walker told the community-relations board.   
      
   Some of the officers involved in the firefight were members of   
   the Miami-Dade Police Department's Priority Response Team, NBC   
   Miami reported. The elite team was formed to deal with active   
   shooters in the wake of the 2018 mass shooting and murder at   
   Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.   
      
   Cutshaw's loved ones, who attended a memorial for him Wednesday,   
   still can't fathom how he died.   
      
   "We know that it happened. But you wake up every morning, you   
   think about how it happened and you just can't believe it," Tom   
   Cutshaw said of his slain brother.   
      
   Ordoñez's mother, Luz Apolinario, told Telemundo in an interview   
   in Spanish that words could not describe her feelings about her   
   son's death.   
      
   "I can't believe they killed my son. I came to this country for   
   a better life, not for my son to be killed," she said in Spanish.   
      
   Apolinario, who immigrated to the U.S. from Ecuador, said her 27-   
   year-old son was a father of two and had just started driving a   
   new route when he was killed.

   Cops can't fucking shoot.  No cop should have access to an   
   assualt weapon.  They can't even shoot a handgun.
