POMPANO BEACH – An investigation is underway after a deputy-involved shooting in Pompano Beach, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said they received a report about gunfire in the 700 block of NW 5 Avenue on Tuesday around 9:30 p.m.
Several people who live in the area said it began when their neighbor “Scott” could be heard yelling at something or someone. They said Scott could be very caring, but he was also paranoid and always walked around with his guns. They added that he was no stranger to law enforcement.
The woman who made the call to 911, who did not want to be identified in this report, said it was the sound of gunfire that got her attention.
“I came out to check what was going on. When I went back in the house we heard another shot, then we heard several shots, like a semi-automatic. That’s when I picked up the phone and called 911. I was like ‘Hey, over 20 shots have been fired.’ As I was speaking to the 911 operator there were more shots being fired,” she said.
