📰 News we're reading
1. 1 hospitalized after police respond to shooting in Miami Gardens (wsvn.com) — A person was airlifted to the hospital after a shooting Tuesday afternoon near Northwest 37th Avenue and 195th Terrace in Miami Gardens, prompting a major police and fire rescue response. Detectives have shut down Northwest 37th Avenue from 195th to 192nd Street, and drivers are being urged to avoid the area while the investigation continues. 
2. Fourth DCA JNC lists judicial applicants (einpresswire.com) — Miami Gardens residents should know that a member of the Fourth District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission is based at St. Thomas University College of Law on NW 37th Avenue in the city. The commission is reviewing applicants to fill two appellate court vacancies and will hold public interviews on June 19, encouraging input from the public, bench, and Bar.
3. Gun, fishing gear purchases included in tax relief approved in Florida (pnj.com) — Miami Gardens residents who attend big tennis tournaments at Hard Rock Stadium could soon skip paying state sales tax on those tickets, thanks to a newly approved Florida tax relief package. The bill also creates a fall hunting and fishing tax holiday, tweaks homestead portability, cuts some gambling taxes, and expands various sales-tax breaks that may indirectly affect local homeowners and businesses.
4. Risk of crowd-generated violence at World Cup low, experts say, but vigilance a must (bostonglobe.com) — Crowd-behavior experts say the risk of hooligan-style violence at the 2026 World Cup is low, but stress that smart, respectful policing is crucial.
