A Miami cheer dad became a hero last week when he shot an active shooter, defending the kids at a cheerleading training camp from the warehouse gunman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One man is dead and two are injured after a warehouse shooter attacked a used car dealership in Miami. (Photo\/LocalNews10<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Local10 News,<\/a> the suspect approached the warehouse district on a motorbike. Security footage shows him 30 minutes before the shooting, holding a rifle<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warehouse Gunman Strikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 49-year-old warehouse gunman, identified by police as Roberto Leyva, fired his gun early afternoon on Thursday, last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leyva\u2019s victim? His half-brother, Eduardo Juan Rivero Jr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivero is the owner of Priced Right Motor, a used car dealership where the shooting took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leyva also shot 35-year-old Armando Yadro, another employee for Priced Right Motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky the Kids Weren’t There<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The dealership is located in a warehouse district frequented by many teens and children. A gym owner, John Todaro, next door to the shooting, told WSVN <\/a>he felt the timing was lucky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s mostly athletic-based businesses. We\u2019re geared toward kids. It\u2019s all kids in that complex that we train. Thankfully, this incident happened before our clients got there,\u201d Todaro said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad Saves The Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also near the dealership, over 20 young girls were at cheerleader camp. One dad saw the shooting and said his first instinct was to make sure the kids were safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to American Military News<\/a>, the dad thought the warehouse gunman might shoot the children next. He pulled out a gun of his own and shot Leyva, effectively stopping the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls and parents at the cheer camp told reporters that the experience was surreal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lady that worked there came to us and told us to get to the wall, and that\u2019s what we did,\u201d one young girl said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust to see their little faces, it was just scary, like the reality of it, like, oh, my God,\u201d the young girl\u2019s mother added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scared Neighbors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police rushed to the scene, with armor and guns, because of the active shooter<\/a> situation. The police presence tipped off neighbors and business owners who were unsure of what had happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t that scared because I didn\u2019t know there was a shooting, but once we found out, I was a little scared,\u201d a witness said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police rushed the shooter and his two victims to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital. Rivero passed away in the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warehouse Gunman Facing Charges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The family members of Rivero and Leyva are grieving right now. “I lost 2 brothers,\u201d Rivero\u2019s sister told CBS<\/a>. With Rivero dead, Leyva, currently in critical condition in the hospital, faces potential homicide charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only the three men seem to have been injured during the shooting. The warehouse gunman did not hurt any of the children at the cheer camp or nearby business owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local police<\/a> assure those in the warehouse district that everything is fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want the community to know that right now, there is no imminent threat. This is an active scene,\u201d said MDSO Sheriff Rosie Cordero Stutz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are still investigating the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
