A man was rushed to the hospital after he was shot in a Fort Lauderdale neighborhood on Wednesday morning, police said.
Officers responded to the shooting just after 11 a.m. in the 1700 block of Northwest 13th Court, just east of Interstate 95, Fort Lauderdale Police officials said.
The injured man was found and taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
Police haven’t released the man’s name or said what may have led to the shooting.
While investigating the shooting, a possible vehicle was identified and found in North Lauderdale, police said.
Officers attempted a traffic stop and the vehicle fled before the driver bailed out on foot and ran into a nearby home, officials said.
The driver was taken into custody a short time later and was being detained.
Police said they couldn’t confirm the incident in North Lauderdale is connected to the shooting but said the investigation was ongoing.
