Two Broward Sheriff’s Office patrol cars were struck by gunfire on Interstate 95 Wednesday night, according to the department.
The deputies were driving north on the highway near Sheridan Street around 11:40 p.m. when they felt something hit their marked vehicles, said Carey Codd, a sheriff’s office spokesman.
The deputies later saw a single gunshot each to the front of their cars, Codd said.
“Fortunately, neither of the deputies was injured by the gunfire,” said Codd, adding the investigation into the shooting is “active and ongoing.
The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information about the incident to call Detective Jennifer Petrofsky at 954-321-4238 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App.
