LAUDERHILL - Two women were taken to the hospital early Wednesday after a shooting during a Jamaican Independence Day celebration in Lauderhill.

It happened around 2 a.m. in the back of Lallo's restaurant, 1400 N State Road 7, where a stage is set up and they often have live music. 

Lauderhill police said officers found a crowd leaving when they arrived. They were told that a woman with a gunshot wound had been taken by a friend to HCA Florida Plantation Emergency. Police said the injury was non-life threatening and the woman was stable.

A second woman who suffered a minor injury, not from the gunfire, was also taken to HCA Florida Plantation Emergency by a friend.

Investigators are trying to determine what led to the shooting. Police said they did not have anyone in custody as of Wednesday morning.
