FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – One person was killed and two others were taken to the hospital after a shooting Friday morning in Fort Lauderdale, authorities confirmed.
Fort Lauderdale police said officers responded to reports of shots fired around 9:45 a.m. near the 4500 block of Twin Lakes Boulevard, a few blocks south of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.
When officers arrived, they found two people suffering from gunshot wounds and a third person inside a nearby home.
Investigators said one person was pronounced dead at the scene and the two surviving victims were taken to a local hospital after being listed in critical condition.
Noon report:
A Local 10 News crew was at the scene as a police officer placed a tarp over the body of a woman who died in the alleged shooting.
“I don’t know what to think. I’m kind of dumbfounded. Things like that normally don’t happen here,” said Labron Palmer, who lives nearby.
Police vehicles could be seen blocking off several streets as investigators worked the scene.
No arrests were immediately announced, and police have not released information about a possible motive or suspect at this time.
“We do believe that we have all of the parties involved at this point so we’re not looking for anyone,” a Fort Lauderdale police officer told Local 10’s Brett Knese.
Anyone with information is urged to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
