'You Could Hear It Was A Fight': Two Critically Hurt In Shooting At Fort Lauderdale Moving Business

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Police are searching for a gunman who shot two co-workers at a Fort Lauderdale moving company Friday morning.

Police have not identified the gunman, or the two people critically hurt at the Good Greek Moving and Storage Company in the 3300 block of SW 12 Avenue.  The business is in a new warehouse district just north of I-595 and the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport.

Police say at 9:00 a.m. Friday morning, an argument between two moving company workers escalated and a third employee who tried to stop the fight.  But one of the men involved in the fight pulled out a gun and shot the worker he was fighting with and the man who tried to break up the fight.

"This was an isolated incident.  We are working with the families to find the identity of the shooter," said Sgt. Deanna Greenlaw.

"It was yelling, a fight, you could hear it was a fight," said Joy, a resident who lives behind the warehouse district where the moving company is based.

Joy said since the warehouse district was built a couple of years ago, she's lost more than her view.

"I'm ready to get out of here.  This used to be so tranquil, the country," said.

Both of the injured men were taken to Broward Health Medical Center in critical condition.

If you have any information about the shooter, call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
