LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. – Broward County deputies surrounded a Dunkin’ store in Lauderdale Lakes following a shooting Monday morning they said involved one of the store’s employees.
The shooting happened at around 8:30 a.m. at the chain’s location at 3960 W. Oakland Park Blvd., just east of State Road 7.
Broward Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Miranda Grossman said deputies found one victim suffering from a gunshot wound. That person, she said, was taken to a nearby hospital.
She said the shooter was a Dunkin’ employee; he opened fire outside the store in a drive-thru area and then took off.
A BSO spokesperson later confirmed that the shooting stemmed from a domestic incident between a son, the Dunkin’ employee, and his father.
Authorities haven’t released information about the victim’s age or condition.
A Local 10 News crew heard deputies, pointing rifles at the store, instructing a person to come out with his up.
Grossman said authorities weren’t sure at the time whether the shooter was barricaded inside; he was not.
Authorities said they later detained one person for questioning. Deputies haven’t publicly identified anyone involved.
According to BSO, the case has been forwarded on to the Broward State Attorney’s Office for review.
