On February 12, two armed males aimed weapons at police enforcement when members of the BSO’s Gang Investigations Task Force were carrying out an operation at the Calypso Cay apartments in the 4100 block of Northwest 21st Street, the BSO said in a statement.
After drawing his weapon and introducing himself as a law enforcement official, the BSO deputy ordered the guys to surrender their weapons. Rather than complying, the guys fired at the officer, who fired back.
Elliot was hit, according to the BSO, but he ran away. After that, he was arrested inside the apartment building and transferred to Broward Health Medical Center.
Two days later, Anglin was apprehended, having also escaped the scene. Two attempted murders of a law enforcement official have been brought against him and Elliot.
Numerous firearms were discovered at the scene by detectives, and the officers were unharmed during the interaction.
According to the BSO, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is spearheading the investigation into the event.
