According to 7 News Miami, a shooting occurred at the Swap Shop in Lauderhill at 3291 W Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311.
Just before 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, as many as four gunshots were heard. Police arrived to find two injured victims. One victim suffered a gunshot wound to his back, while the second was grazed by a bullet in their neck. Both victims were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Police reported that they are searching for two suspects and are continuing to investigate the incident.
Attorney contributor Michael Haggard has fought for justice for victims of gunshot injuries in the state of Florida. He often provides legal aid to both the victims and their families, including filing civil lawsuits for financial compensation. During a recent interview, Michael shared his insight regarding when victims can sue for being shot at a flea market.
"Flea market owners, like other commercial property owners, have a legal responsibility to ensure their guests and vendors are reasonably safe on their property. These owners should implement basic security measures according to premises liability laws in order to reduce the risk of dangers, such as shootings. This could involve maintaining well-lit parking lots, security cameras, and even on-site security personnel."
"If the owner of a flea market neglects its security, they could be held liable for damages. If the criminal activity had increased in the area, but the owner failed to make improvements to the security, and a crime took place, it may be considered foreseeable. Victims should employ the aid of an experienced violent crime attorney to guide them through the legal process."
