Police in Florida are investigating an incident in which two men were killed after two-dozen officers fired approximately 337 of bullets at the 2 unarmed men, injuring other officers, and risking the lives of innocent civilians.

A robbery suspect, Adrian Montesano, had his vehicle pinned between a utility pole and a tree following a pursuit at approximately 5:00 a.m.

As the blue Volvo remained stationary, officers aimed their rifles towards it from every angle. For nearly 2 minutes, officers tensely waited with weapons aimed.

Suddenly, one of the officers opened fire. The gunshots caused other officers to join in, shooting the unarmed suspect and the passenger that had nothing to do with the suspected crime.

According to an investigative report by CBS Miami, officers identified the Volvo around 6:23 a.m. and gave chase – not realizing at the time that there was a second man in the car. Corsini Valdes had not committed a crime and, like Montesano at this time, was not armed. It’s unclear when exactly Valdez joined Montesano in the vehicle.

The car chase didn’t last long. Montesano crashed through a fence and ended up in the backyard of a local townhouse, wedged between a tree and a light pole.

Surprisingly both Montesano and Valdes were still alive after the first massive wave of bullets. That is when one of the officers started shooting again causing the others joined in another assault that lasted for almost 25 seconds.

It’s unclear exactly why the police opened fire the second time.

Neither of the two men were found with any weapons – but by the end of the entire ordeal 23 officers had shot a total of 377 rounds.
