A shooting in Wellington, Florida has left a man hospitalized following a dispute on Tuesday night. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office responded to the incident which took place around 9 p.m. in the vicinity of the 13900 block of Barberry Court, the victim whose identity has not been disclosed, sustained injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening, as WPTV News Channel 5 West Palm reports.

However, when authorities arrived at the scene the man shot was unforthcoming with details and "elected not to supply deputies information" which would cast a light upon the events preceding his injury, the details that emerged later indicated an altercation between the man and woman escalated with a third party intervening and subsequently firing upon the man, as per WPTV. Initial reports reflect an active and ongoing investigation by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office into the dynamics that precipitated such violence.

The specifics of the aforementioned disagreement or the nature of the relationship between the parties involved remain undisclosed; yet, investigators have pieced together some semblance of narrative according to CBS12, it was discerned that the man and a woman were in the midst of an argument which was interrupted by a third individual who then took the action of shooting the man.
