HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - A driver is in the hospital after coming under fire and pulling into a mechanic’s shop for help.
Hollywood Police responded to reports of shots fired near Washington Street and South Dixie, Monday morning.
Once police responded to the scene, a victim was not found.
7News camera’s captured blood stains in the threshold of Triple B Bar and Grill, located at 830 S. Dixie Highway.
A short time afterwards, police received a call from Kosher Motors regarding a man who was shot at 2400 Pembroke Road.
A man driving a Honda Accord went into the car dealers’ garage, honking sporadically for help.
“We think it’s a customer, you know, just joking around,” said Alex, the shops’s foreman. “He came through, he’s wounded, laying down on the car all bloodied. I mean, I was thinking he’s dead. I called police, police came and he’s still alive. I cannot think it’s a lucky Monday, Presidents’ Day.”
The victim was found conscious with a gunshot wound, and he was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital.
His condition is unknown.
The vehicle was bloodied and had a damaged bumper. It was eventually towed away.
Investigators revisited Triple B Bar and Grill to work out what led to the shooting.
7News asked staff at the bar what happened, but they had no comment.
