A Plantation Police Department spokesperson said the shooting occurred between two groups of people that know each other. Police believe the groups were “involved in possible criminal activity” and “someone pulled out a gun and started shooting.”

According to Plantation Fire Rescue, the victims, both men, were shot in the back and ran into the store after being wounded. Medics took them to Broward Health Medical Center.

A fire rescue spokesperson said both victims were “awake and alert” following the shooting. Police said one of the victims suffered serious injuries, while the other suffered minor injuries.
