Search for suspect underway after a teen was hospitalized after a Broward shooting, BSO says

A teen has been taken to the hospital after a shooting in Pompano Beach Wednesday afternoon, according to fire officials.

The Broward Sheriff's Office confirmed that they received a report of a shooting along NW 14th St and 3rd Ave shortly before 2:30 p.m. 

Chopper 4 captured police scouring the scene moments after the shooting.

The Pompano Beach Fire Department said a 13-year-old boy was taken to Broward Health Medical Center for treatment with a non-life threatening gunshot injury to the leg. 

The shooting left parents in the neighborhood on edge.

"As a mother, as having a teenage daughter myself, it's really sad that these type of things happen around here and, like I said, I hope that the little kid pulls through it, but it's sad, it's really sad," said Yvette Hernandez.

"I got like scared, you know, when you have kids and you heard like gunshot and you live around here, that makes you think like, what you going to do? You have kids. You need to keep them safe by using camera surveillance, so I'm going to install them so that I have everything under control," Clairontus said.

Our cameras were rolling as a young man walked out of a BSO patrol car. It's unclear who he is, but deputies may have been questioning him after the incident.

Investigators said the 13-year-old and the suspect know each other, but it's unclear how and what led to the shooting.

At last check, deputies are still searching for the shooter.
