3 Injured, Including 6-Year-Old Girl, In Shooting Outside Fort Lauderdale Store

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - A shooting outside a Fort Lauderdale convenience store late Easter Sunday left three people hurt, including a 6-year-old girl.

Fort Lauderdale police said the shooting happened around 9:45 p.m. outside Tony's Market on the 800 Block of Northwest 22nd Road.

According to police, a large crowd had gathered in the road, on the sidewalks, and inside the store when several people began shooting.

Preliminary reports indicate more than 50 rounds were fired from semi-automatic rifles and handguns, police told CBS4.

When police and paramedics arrived, they found a six-year-old girl who had been shot inside the store.

Surveillance video from inside the convenience store shows the girl, dressed in pink, being carried in right after the shooting. Paramedics rushed the girl to Broward Health Medical Center. Police said she is expected to survive.

Two other people, a 16-year-old boy and a man, were also hurt in the shooting. The two drove themselves to the hospital and should be okay, according to police.

Investigators are working to determine what led to the gunfire but believe there were multiple shooters. If you have any information to help detectives, call Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
