PLANTATION, Fla. — Plantation Fire Rescue personnel took a boy injured on Friday from Plantation to the Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.
Officer Chavez Grant, a spokesman for the Plantation Police Department, said the five-year-old boy was in stable condition after he was shot in the abdomen.
Detectives suspect the boy somehow got a hold of a loaded gun and shot himself, police said.
Police officers responded to the gated Woodstock Lodge Apartments community, near the intersection of Northwest 11 Street and 55 Avenue.
Officers focused on a third-floor apartment unit.
Officers questioned a woman with brown and purple hair who appeared to be distraught and escorted her up the stairs to the apartment.
There were also police officers at the Broward Health Medical Center waiting on updates about the boy’s condition.
Officers are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
