On Thursday morning, a police officer was shot in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, hotel during what authorities suspect may have been a planned ambush. The incident unfolded when three officers responded to a call at around 7:39 a.m. from a Holiday Inn guest who claimed to have killed someone inside a hotel room, as reported by Police Chief Bill Schultz during a press conference.
Upon entering the room, the officers were met with gunfire from a suspect, resulting in one officer being shot and another sustaining minor injuries during the exchange of bullets. The injured officer was quickly transported to a hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
