5 hurt in shooting at Fort Lauderdale apartment complex
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A shooting at a Fort Lauderdale apartment complex on Wednesday sent five people to the hospital, police said.
Gunfire broke out shortly after 8:30 p.m. when a group of people gathered in the courtyard of the complex on northwest 19th Street were confronted by a second group, Police Chief Patrick Lynn said at a news conference.
Five people were taken to the hospital, he said.
These are the stories of those killed in the all-too-familiar thrum of another mass shooting.
The man accused in the fatal shooting spree in Philadelphia that left five people dead and four others wounded left a will at his house, and according to roommates had acted agitated and wore a tactical vest around his house in the days before the shooting, prosecutors said Wednesday.
A rash of shootings as the U.S. celebrated the Fourth of July is spiking fears in communities across the U.S. and highlighting the challenges police face at preventing such violence as temperatures warm and festivities move outside.
A Maryland sheriff’s office says a 14-year-old boy was killed and six other people were injured in a shooting at a Fourth of July block party on the Eastern Shore.
Their conditions and ages weren’t immediately released.
No arrests were immediately made and there wasn’t any immediate word on what prompted the shooting.
