South Florida police sergeant shot following pursuit of stolen vehicle, authorities say

A police sergeant with the Golden Beach Police Department was shot overnight Saturday after joining a pursuit of two suspects in a stolen vehicle, according to News 6 partner Local10.

The Hollywood Police Department received a call for assistance from Golden Beach police after units with the Sunny Isle Police Department and GBPD were attempting to stop a stolen car around 3:15 a.m. heading north on Ocean Boulevard.

The driver lost control of the car as they attempted to turn onto Hallandale Beach Boulevard, which prompted the individuals to run on foot, authorities said.
