Dear South Floridians, please don’t fire your guns into the sky to ring in the New Year.
That is the message from police departments and city officials across Miami-Dade County at an annual press conference for the campaign “One Bullet Kills The Party.”
On Tuesday, Miami-Dade Commissioner Audrey Edmonson warned one bullet fired into the air in celebration could injure or kill someone.
“Do not shoot up into the sky. When you shoot up into the sky of course that bullet comes down.”
Local rapper Pitbull, who is prominently featured on promotional materials, backs the One Bullet Kills the Party campaign. Local officials credit the campaign for preventing New Year’s Eve related incidents in the last few years.
