NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies surrounded the Players Sports Bar & Grill early Sunday morning in North Lauderdale after a shooting killed a man and injured two other men.
Witnesses said a fight in the bar devolved into a 3:40 a.m. shooting. Some of the bar’s patrons ran to the parking lot along U.S. Route 441, also known as State Road 7.
According to a witness, a man pulled out a gun and three were injured — including a man feared dead. The injured did not wait for fire rescue personnel to arrive.
Their friends drove them to nearby hospitals. BSO deputies later confirmed a man was pronounced dead at the hospital. Detectives did not release a description of the gunman.
The bar usually opens at midnight and closes at 4 a.m. Detectives asked anyone with information about the case or other cases to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
