FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – 1 person is dead after a police-involved shooting in Fort Lauderdale Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Police said they responded to calls of a disturbance off of Northwest 9th Avenue and Chateau Park Drive.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile on scene, officers were approached by an armed adult male, who was not a part of the initial disturbance,\u201d said Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Bill Schultz.<\/p>\n
Police said that this is when things took a tragic turn.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect fired his weapon during the encounter with the officers. Three FLPD officers discharged their department issued firearms at that time, striking the suspect.\u201d said Schultz. \u201cOfficers performed life-saving efforts until Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue arrived, and transported the suspect to Broward Health Medical Center.\u201d<\/p>\n
No officers were injured as a result of the shooting, according to the police chief.<\/p>\n
The suspect would not survive.<\/p>\n
A Ring doorbell camera at a nearby home captured chaos at the spot where officers focused their investigation.<\/p>\n
The camera captured an SUV maneuvering around as a man in a white tank top appeared to communicate with the driver of the car.<\/p>\n
Police have yet to confirm whether the people in the security camera footage are connected to the shooting, or the identity of the man who lost his life.<\/p>\n
The three officers have been placed on administrative leave, as the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
