A Broward Sheriff’s deputy opened fire Tuesday night in Pompano Beach, leaving one person hospitalized, according to authorities.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office said it happened shortly after 9:30 p.m. near the 700 block of Northwest 5th Avenue.
Deputies had initially responded to a call about a shooting, according to BSO. At some point, a deputy fired their weapon, but it was not immediately clear why.
Video of the scene appears to show a car and a home struck by bullets.
Pompano Beach Fire Rescue took one person to the hospital, but whether that was a potential victim of the initial call or someone hurt by deputy fire was not clear. BSO said no other injuries were reported.
