Police are searching for a suspect after one person was hurt in a shooting at a 7-Eleven in Fort Lauderdale early Thursday, officials said.
Fort Lauderdale Police officials said officers responded to reports of a shooting at around 4:30 a.m. in the 2900 block of East Sunrise Boulevard.
Officers arrived at the scene and found one person who had possibly been shot.
Police believe the incident started as a verbal altercation that escalated before the gunman fired a round at the victim, striking him in the abdomen.
The suspect fled from the scene, possibly in a light colored sedan, authorities said.
The victim was taken by Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue to the hospital in critical but stable condition.
Video of the scene shows police tape cordoning off the parking lot of the 7-Eleven, and officers could be seen stepping inside the store. Several patrol cars were parked outside.
