An unidentified man was taken to a local hospital after a shooting Sunday at an apartment building in Dania Beach.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office said its deputies responded to a report of a shooting in the 500 block of SW 2nd Avenue. Paramedics from Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue took the man to a nearby hospital where he was treated for a gunshot wound, according to agency spokesperson Miranda Grossman. His condition was not disclosed.
The circumstances that led to the incident were not known. BSO’s Violent Crimes and Crime Scene units are investigating the shooting, Grossman said.
The location is a block west of U.S. 1 and a short distance south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The BSO did not give a specific address and local television outlet NBC6 South Florida said it was unclear whether the shooting occurred inside or outside a two-story apartment building where police had been operating.
The BSO has asked anyone with information about the incident to contact Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
