Three people are dead and at least six others injured following a shooting at a Florida graduation party on Sunday. Miami-Dade police Director Freddie Ramirez told news outlets that the party at a strip mall lounge was ending when one or more vehicles “pulled up and began to fire into the crowd.” The identities of those killed and wounded were not immediately released Sunday. The shooting happened about 2 a.m. in the suburb of Kendall. Two of those who died were in one of the cars police believe was involved in the shooting. The vehicle sped off and crashed into a nearby wall. Authorities found at least one gun in the car, but its exact connection to the shooting was unclear.

Sunday’s shooting follows a rise in crime in the Miami area that saw three people killed and 20 wounded in a still-unsolved mass shooting at a banquet hall over the Memorial Dad weekend. Another shooting on May 28 in the Wynwood area killed one person and injured six others.

It’s a big day for our team.” Robinson also said of Jones: “He’s big, he’s fast, he’s tough, he’s great with the ball in his hands, a willing blocker. I think a lot of things that we ask of our receivers … get open, catch and block — he certainly checks those boxes and has done it at a high level in the National Football League.”

The 32-year-old Jones, whose base salary of $15.3 million is fully guaranteed for this season, was set to cost the Falcons $23.05 million against the cap in 2021.

Brooklyn Nets’ James Harden was ruled out for Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday because of a right hamstring injury. In a statement released Sunday, the Nets said Harden was diagnosed with right hamstring tightness. The expectation is for the team to monitor how his hamstring responds to treatment over the next few days. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Monday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Harden appeared to suffer the hamstring injury when he attempted to lob a pass over Bucks guard Jrue Holiday and center Brook Lopez early in the first quarter of Game 1. The 31-year-old Harden landed and immediately grabbed at his right hamstring, eventually leaving the floor for the locker room.

Nets head coach Steve Nash told reporters: “He has high hopes and he wants to be back ASAP. Now, I think we want to protect James, too. We want to make sure he’s right. This is playoff time. This is time to take some risks, but it has to be right to take those risks — we’re not going to take any old risk. So, we hope he’s back. He believes he can be back. But, we’ve got to see what happens and only time can tell how he responds.”

Brothers Osborne have released the video for their song Younger Me.

Younger Me is a song of encouragement for anyone pushing through a difficult time, and was inspired by singer TJ Osborne’s decision to publicly come out in February, “Younger Me” was conceived as a message to his younger self and struggling with being different, not knowing where he was going. “I’ve always wished I could speak to my younger self, give him a hug and show him who he’d become and what he’d achieve. Once I came out, that feeling was overwhelmingly strong that this song was born,” TJ said.

Brothers Osborne will be kicking off the We’re Not for Everyone Tour on July 29th, which runs through November 20th. Check out the video for Younger Me – here.
