LAUDERHILL, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews rushed a woman to the hospital after police found her suffering from several gunshot wounds in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Lauderhill.

A Lauderhill Police officer was patrolling the area when he heard gunshots coming from the Waterford Park apartments, located along the 7500 block of Northwest 44th Street, just before 2 a.m., Wednesday.

Officers then discovered a woman sitting in the driver’s seat of a car with gunshot wounds.

Lauderhill Fire Rescue transported her to Broward Health in critical condition.

Authorities said they came across the victim’s girlfriend and a brief standoff ensued.

She then surrendered without issue.

7News camera captured officers focused on one unit as well as a portion of the parking lot as they investigated.

One resident said she was alarmed by the response and thought it was her mother that was in trouble.

“I’m still like shaking because I just left my salon and did not expect to be coming home to this. There was a body laying on the floor as I’m pulling in, and the police officer was just telling me to stop and not go to my building,” said Schazzard Blackburn. “My mom said she heard seven gunshots outside our window, which is where the person is laying in front of.”

Tow trucks were spotted removing two cars related to the investigation.

One car had a bullet hole in the windshield.

Police continue to investigate.
