FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — One thing was clear from the frazzled 911 calls — among the victims of gun violence were children.
Dispatchers struggled to get details from several callers seeking help at the Broward Gardens apartment complex in Fort Lauderdale shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday. They were emphatic about needing ambulances, repeatedly shouting that they didn’t know exactly what happened, only that multiple children were shot in their arms or legs.
Fort Lauderdale Police have confirmed that five people, including two minors, were wounded in the spray of bullets at the complex in the 2900 block of Northwest 19th Street. Detectives on Thursday were still trying to find out what led to the shooting, and few details have been released.
