1/ Last night, armed robbers hijacked a UPS truck after a robbery in Coral Gables, leading to a dramatic police chase and deadly shootout on a busy street in Miramar.

Four people were killed.

Here’s everything we know so far.
2/ The FBI confirmed the four dead include two robbers, a UPS driver who was taken hostage, and an innocent bystander.

There are still questions about how the police handled the situation — and if it was the right call.

3/ Frank Ordonez was the UPS driver taken hostage and later killed during the shootout with police.

He was the father of two young girls, a 3-year-old and 5-year-old.

4/ Ordonez's family is mourning his death.

They set up a #GoFundMe to help support his two young daughters, and so did several others.

Here are the verified ones.

5/ The innocent bystander killed in the crossfire was Richard Cutshaw, 70, a union rep from Pembroke Pines.

A union lawyer told us he was on his way home.

“The president of the union told me he couldn’t believe it... He had just talked to him.”

7/ Our editorial board (@HeraldOpEd) has some questions for the FBI.

• Whose bullets killed the victims?
• Could the hostage and bystander have been better protected?
• Should officers have approached the truck knowing suspects were armed and firing?
