    MIAMI (AP) - As many as three gunman stormed a birthday party on the edge of downtown Miami and opened fire early Monday, shooting 12 people and causing a chaotic scramble as people tried to flee, authorities said.

    Three of the wounded were hospitalized in critical condition, police spokesman Det. William Moreno said. Another person fleeing the home was struck by a vehicle and was in stable condition. Police are searching for the suspects.

    The men were wearing all black and opened fire with automatic weapons around 12:45 a.m. Shell casings from an AK-47 and two pistols were found, police said.

    It was unclear if the shooting happened in the home or outside what authorities described as a block party.

    Police roped off about four blocks with yellow tape in the area of the shooting, located in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, a run down area in the shadows of downtown's glistening skyscrapers. Crime scene trucks were parked along the street as detectives searched for a motive. Shell casing were sprayed across the road and inside the home, some possibly from Fourth of July celebrations, authorities said.

    "There's a lot of casings," Miami police Chief John Timoney said.

    Miami Fire-Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll said initially there were not enough ambulances to take the victims to the hospital, he said.

    I'd assume they found some 7.62x39 cases and concluded they were from an AK due to the reports of FA weapons. MP5's leave distinctive markings on brass so they would know if it was an MP5.

      If I'm not mistaken, the MP5 has a fluted chamber, just like my HK93 had. The spent casing has a tell-tale striping on it easy to recognize. (My HK93 also put a distinctive dent in the case from it hitting the back edge of the ejection port, making the cases un-reloadable. The reason I got rid of it).
      Most automatic weapons also put an extractor mark on the case when inspected closely. The size and shape of the extractor can then be determined, and thus the gun it came from narrowed down to a manufacturer or even a model number.

          They probably found mass quantities of 7.62 cases and a much lesser amount of the pistols cases. We can only speculate.
