COCONUT CREEK, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews took a 15-year-old boy to the hospital after he came under fire at an apartment complex in Coconut Creek, police said.
7News cameras captured an active scene along the 3500 block of Cocoplum Circle, just after 10 p.m., Thursday.
According to Coconut Creek Police, the incident happened a little after 8 p.m. inside an apartment unit.
Responding officers arrived to find the victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Paramedics transported the teen to Broward Health Medical Center. Police said he was alert and conscious during transport and is listed in stable condition.
Investigators said this appears to an isolated incident. No one has been taken into custody.
Detectives believe the victim and the shooter knew each other, but this was not a domestic situation.
“It doesn’t look like at this point that there is any type of stranger danger of any kind. It was isolated to one of the units in here,” said Coconut Creek Police spokesperson Scotty Leamon, “so we’re here, we’re collecting all evidence, and it will be witnesses back at the PD and also here, trying to put together what happened according to the evidence and according to what the witnesses will tell us.”
Police continue to investigate.
