BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — There is still no official explanation about what happened near Hagen Ranch Road and Boynton Beach Blvd. Friday afternoon, with multiple law enforcement sources telling BocaNewsNow.com that “it was a mess.”
A shooting was reported in the area around 3:30 p.m. — just as the early evening rush hour was getting underway. The emergency response led to massive road closures and delays, leaving some stuck in traffic for hours on commutes that normally span just minutes. There have been no arrests for this specific incident, according to the Palm Beach County Jail.
Law enforcement sources tell BocaNewsNow.com that the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the matter and determine what exactly happened. Witnesses, unverified but with similar stories, tell BocaNewsNow.com, that the incident was road rage related — but whether anyone was actually shot remains unclear. Very few medical units were dispatched to the scene, suggesting the medical response was more precautionary, not reactionary to a mass casualty incident.
