A man was hospitalized in critical condition Monday morning after he was shot at a Walgreens in Miramar, police said.
The shooting happened shortly after 11 a.m. inside the Walgreens at the intersection of Miramar Boulevard and Palm Avenue. Witnesses told officers when they arrived that two men had been in a “very minor altercation” before one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the other, police department spokesperson Janice McIntosh said.
The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition, she said. The man police believe to be the shooter was detained outside of the store and is in custody as of Monday afternoon.
Chief Delrish Moss told WSVN-Ch. 7 at the scene that the man who was hospitalized was in “extremely critical” condition.
“… This is one of those things where unfortunately people get into these disputes and with the proliferation of guns on our streets, unfortunately they devolve into this type of a situation,” Moss told Ch. 7.
