‘Total chaos’: Coach describes gunfire during youth baseball game

A youth baseball coach described the frightening moments gunshots erupted near a Cutler Bay park Monday night.

“At first, you heard the pop, pop, pop, and instantly thought maybe fireworks,” Mickey Lopez said.

Lopez is head coach of the Franjo Seminoles, a youth baseball team that was in the middle of a game at Franjo Park when shots rang out.

“Total chaos,” he said. “I don’t know how we ended up behind home plate, but that’s where we hunkered down with the kids. We threw our bodies over them.”
