Miami, Dec 6 (IANS) At least four people were killed in a shootout after an armed robbery in the US state of Florida, federal authorities said. The incident took place on Thursday after the
jewellery store robbers hijacked a UPS truck and led police on a chase from Miami to Miramar, reports the South Florida Sun Sentinal newspaper. FBI special agent George Piro said in a news
conference that the victims comprise the two robbers, the abducted UPS driver and a bystander who was inside an idle car at the scene. "There are a lot of questions that are
unanswered," Piro said. A silent alarm alerted a Coral Gables officer of the robbery at 4.17 p.m., police said. Gunfire was exchanged between the store owner and the suspects and a
woman at the store was hurt. It was unclear if she had been shot. The robbers left in a vehicle that was later found nearby. The UPS truck was hijacked at 4.36 p.m.
