Original Story
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office responded to Oconnor’s pub in west Boca Raton late last night for a shooting call. Upon arrival, PBCFR staged until the all clear was provided by PBSO. Shortly after that, one male victim was reported to have non-life-threatening injuries from a gunshot wound to his left hand.
It is reported that an off-duty deputy was already on scene at the time of the medical dispatch. It is also unclear at this time if the off-duty deputy was involved in the shooting. We are unaware of any arrests at this time. We will provide more details as follow up with PBSO later this morning.
