FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Two women had to be taken to the hospital following a drive-by shooting in Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale Police and Fire Rescue units responded to the scene along the 2600 block of Northwest 20th Street at around 8 p.m., Wednesday.

When officers arrived, police said they found two women with gunshot wounds.

Paramedics transported the victims to Broward Health Medical Center with injuries not considered life-threatening.

Some neighbors said they have been hearing fireworks for the past few nights and believed the gunshots they heard were more fireworks.
