OAKLAND PARK, FLA. (WSVN) – Authorities have arrested a woman who was shot during a car break-in outside an Oakland Park home and taken to the hospital.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of a shooting on Northwest 13th Terrace near 49th Street just after 5 a.m. Sunday.

When deputies responding to the incident arrived at the house, they saw 31-year-old Ruika Abdulrahman suffering from a gunshot wound to her arm.

Deputies provided first aid and paramedics with Oakland Park Fire Rescue transported him to a local hospital. The injuries are not life-threatening.

When we returned to the scene, cameras showed a bullet piercing the driver’s side window of a white SUV parked in the home’s driveway.

Crime scene investigators spent most of Sunday morning taking photos around the house.

One of the local residents said he heard gunshots and was not used to this chaos on this quiet street.

“Around 4 o’clock, somewhere around 4:30, I heard a single gunshot and I knew it was a gunshot,” he said. “I was sitting there wondering what was going on, and then right after, about five minutes later, I heard police cars.”

During the preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the incident was related to theft and Abdulrahman was arrested.

BSO’s Oakland Park District Crime Squad and BSO’s Violent Crimes detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident.
