Summary
A father and his 11-year-old daughter were hospitalized in stable condition after bullets struck their SUV while they waited for food outside a Hallandale BeachMcDonald's on Saturday.
Police said the shooting began when a suspect apparently lying in wait to ambush someone opened fire after that person arrived, triggering an exchange of gunfire.
The girl's mother was inside the restaurant when shots were fired, and video showed a bullet hole in the SUV's rear driver-side window.
Witnesses reported hearing two gunshots and seeing police rush the scene as the suspect ran off; no arrests were announced.
Investigators said a McDonald's employee may have been involved, and the restaurant has since closed as police seek more information.
