A man was shot early Friday in what may have been a self-defense shooting in Fort Lauderdale, according to police.
The gunfire happened at around 3:30 a.m. in the 200 block of Southwest 2nd Street, police said. Video showed police tape surrounding Fat Tuesday, a South Florida bar with several locations known for its frozen cocktails.
Officers found a man suffering from gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening, and he was rushed to Broward Health Medical Center.
Authorities said a preliminary investigation revealed that shots were fired after a physical fight between three men.
The victim did not want to press charges and is not cooperating with detectives, police said.
The shooter “returned to the scene and is cooperating with detectives,” but has not been arrested.
Police said they are actively investigating and considering the possibility that shots were fired in self-defense.
