HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Police have taken at least two men into custody after a shooting near a Hallandale Beach park sent a man and a 9-year-old girl to the hospital.

Hallandale Beach Police officers remained at the scene Tuesday night, hours after, they said, shots rang out near Foster Park, in the area of Foster Road and Northwest Seventh Avenue, at around 2:15 p.m.

Officials said police responded to reports of shots fired. Upon arrival, a fight was broken up, and officers determined a shooting had taken place.

7Skyforce HD hovered above the scene as officers took two men into custody. One of the subjects was seen sitting on a sidewalk in handcuffs.

“We have people that we do have detained right now, and we are continuing to ask questions so that we can obtain the correct story,” said Hallandale Beach Police Capt. Rashana Dabney-Donovan.

According to investigators, the girl was sitting in a silver Mazda when the vehicle was under fire, striking her.

Police said the adult victim was also hit with gunfire.

7News cameras later captured a silver Mazda with the rear window blown out and evidence markers behind the vehicle.

“I know that there were multiple shots. I don’t have the information as to where they were hit at this time,” said Dabney-Donovan.

Officials said the child’s mother drove her to the hospital, but at an unspecified location in Hollywood, she pulled over and flagged down a rescue that transported the child to Memorial Regional Center with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Paramedics transported the adult victim to Memorial Regional Hospital, where both victims are listed in stable condition.

Cameras captured crews as they took the victims into the hospital. It is unknown whether or not they are related.

Back at the scene of the shooting, officers interviewed multiple witnesses, and K-9 units were seen going house to house and at a nearby cemetery, as they continued to search for evidence. Officers were also seen picking up evidence at a nearby house.

Police said it remains unclear whether or not there was someone inside the Mazda with the girl at the time of the shooting. It is also unknown who owns the vehicle.

The Mazda was towed away from the scene, Tuesday night.
