Two people were sent to the hospital after a shooting Monday morning in the Acreage, according to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue.

The shooting occurred at 9:15 a.m. at a residence in the 12000 block of 59th Street North near 120th Avenue North.

Capt. Albert Borroto with PBCFR said one of the victims had to be transported by helicopter.

 

It's unclear what led up to the shooting. A woman who identified herself as the landlord's daughter said her mom called her to say what happened. 

"She said that, 'he shot him,' and I asked who shot who, she said, 'one roommate shot the other and there's blood everywhere,'" Sheena Colon said. 

Colon said her mom rents the back dwelling to the two men involved, they had been living there a couple months. 

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says only one person was shot and that their injuries appear to be non-life threatening.
