‘Sir, I’ve been shot’: Victims in shooting in Fort Lauderdale called 911

Gunshots erupted on a Fort Lauderdale street early Saturday morning and moments later, several of the men who were struck called 911, pleading for help and for one person to be rushed to the hospital.

A shooter or shooters fired at a car in the 600 block of Northwest 62nd Street just after 5 a.m. and fled the area. Three people were found shot inside the car and were taken to Broward Health Medical Center, where one was pronounced dead.

Fort Lauderdale Police on Monday identified the person who died at the hospital as 18-year-old Marion Harrison.

A fourth adult man was found after the shooting and taken to the hospital “as a precaution,” but he was not shot. It was not known where he was found or if he was also in the car with Harrison and the others during the shooting.

Two of the men who survived remained in the hospital as of Monday afternoon, but the police department did not release their conditions or names.

One dead, three hospitalized after shooting in Fort Lauderdale street

In one of the 911 calls released Monday, a man told a dispatcher that he didn’t see anything suspicious. He only heard repeated bangs. On edge, he asked if he could leave the area.

A woman was walking near Northwest Sixth Way and TD Bank, at 665 NW 62nd St., when she heard the gunshots, she told a dispatcher. Throughout the call, a man screamed and cried in the background.  A woman’s voice could be heard faintly instructing someone to take a “deep breath” in the background.

“Ma’am, I don’t know,” the woman said when asked what happened. “I was literally walking by and I heard shots fired, and then, um, there was people in the car. I don’t know …”

The screaming continued.

“They got shot!” she said to someone in the background.

Shortly after, sirens blared as the screams continued. A man could be heard saying, “It was a black car” in the background of the call. Another man could be heard screaming as the sirens wailed, “Get my brother to the hospital! Get my brother to the hospital!” before the line disconnected.

The screams were closer in the third 911 call. “Police!” someone screamed at the start of the call.

“There’s been a shooting. There’s been a shooting,” a man quietly said when the dispatcher answered. “… Get me out! TD Bank,” the man said, groaning. “I don’t know where we at, but we just got into a shooting.”

“Get me out … C’mon get me out! My leg!” he shouted.

“OK, what’s going on?” the dispatcher asked.

“Four people just got shot,” he said as someone continued to cry and scream for police.

“Hurry up. You gotta get here, bruh,” he said before the line disconnected. The dispatcher attempted to call the number back, but no one answered.

Another man called 911 from a nearby Wawa gas station on Powerline Road.

“There’s been a shooting,” he told the dispatcher.

There was confusion about what city the man was calling from, and after the dispatcher tried to question him about the address and asked for his phone number, he said, “Sir, I’ve been shot.”

“Tell me exactly what happened, sir,” the dispatcher said but the man did not respond. “Hello? Sir, I need you to tell me exactly what happened.” Only rustling could be heard.

The dispatcher struggled to get the man to answer any of his questions before the man who said he was shot hung up the call.

The last call released Monday seemed to come from inside the car where the victims were injured. A man groaned and complained about his leg.

“Hello, 911,” the dispatcher said amid the commotion.

“I just got shot,” the man said to the dispatcher, seemingly out of breath.

“Where were you shot, sir?”

“I’ve been shot. I don’t know,” he said.

The dispatcher asked him again where he was shot.

“Bro, please, you gotta … somebody, please, bro,” he pleaded with the dispatcher. “I’m bleeding everywhere bro.”

The man continued to groan in pain. Someone else screamed.

“Who’s yelling in the background?” the dispatcher asked. “Hello, sir? Sir, what’s your name?”

“You gotta get me out of here,” he said. “My leg is f—– up …”

The sound of the sirens seemed to be moving closer to them by the time someone shouted for his brother to be taken to the hospital. Then, a different man’s voice in the background could be heard asking repeatedly who shot at them.

“It don’t matter,” someone answered. ” … I don’t know. C’mon please, get me out of here, please.”

As of Monday afternoon, Fort Lauderdale Police said the Homicide Unit is continuing to investigate.
