HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a South Florida police officer shot and wounded an armed man after responding to reports of a body in a yard.
A Hallandale Beach police spokeswoman says officers responded to a 911 call Monday morning about a body. Media outlets report officers didn't find a body but discovered a man slouched over a city trash bin.
When they tried to ask the man if he needed help, police say the man showed them a weapon. Officials say one of the officers fired several shots at the man.
A revolver was later recovered at the scene. The man was taken to a nearby hospital.
