Gunshots erupted in a North Lauderdale neighborhood Monday evening, and less than an hour later a teenaged girl was pronounced dead at the hospital, officials said. The Broward Sheriff's Office responded to the 7400 block of Southwest 12th Court shortly before 11 p.m. and found the 13-year-old girl shot. First responders airlifted her to a local hospital, where she was declared dead about 11:30 p.m. The Sheriff's Office did not released further information Tuesday. The girl's name is withheld under Marsy's Law, a voter-approved constitutional amendment that allows crime victims to shield their identifying information from the public.
