An off-duty Miami-Dade police officer was robbed and shot at his church in Liberty City yesterday.

There was an armed robbery and attempted murder of an off-duty Miami-Dade police officer at a church in Liberty City yesterday. Other headlines have labeled it a shooting but I'm calling it like it is. The officer’s name has not been released but he was approached by three to four young black males armed with a semi-automatic weapon. His property was taken and he was shot in the chest. As of this post, the officer is in stable condition and suspects are in custody.
