Original Story
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office responded to O’Connor’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.
The late night shooting call was received by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue at 1:29am. The 23 year old male victim was transported to Delray Medical Center as a trauma alert at 1:49am.
Oconnor’s Pub is located at 9900 Sandalfoot Blvd, Boca Raton, FL 33428 in the Sandalfoot Plaza.

just wondering why the victim wasn’t brought to West Boca medical center which is 1 mile away, and was taken to Delray medical center. that’s a story in a story.
Delray Medical Center is the closest Trauma Hospital. It all depends on the severity of the incident — but a trauma hospital is where you want to be if you find yourself in that type of situation.
