The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says that people in cars started shooting at each other in the middle of the night, which led to a gunfight at a Florida intersection.
The number of shooters is still unknown, but the sheriff’s office said in a news release that one guy died and another was hurt. The names of the two people have not been made public.
On Tuesday, May 9, around 12:30 a.m., it happened in West Palm Beach, which is about 70 miles north of Miami.
The sheriff’s office said that when deputies went to a crossroads where someone had been shot and a car had crashed, they found a damaged car and a dead man nearby.
Another empty car was found in a parking lot about one block north of the crossing. It had “heavy front-end damage and several bullet holes.”
Detectives found that people in the two cars were shooting at each other while they were moving.
Officials say that the man who died was one of the cars who lost control and hit a power pole. Officials said that people were seen “getting out of the car and running east while being shot at by unknown suspects.”
The people in the other car are thought to have fired those shots, police said.
“A second person who had been shot in the arm was found at the scene and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment,” police said.
No information about any charges in the case has been made public.
