OAKLAND PARK, FL. (WSVN) – Authorities have arrested a woman after they say a car break-in outside an Oakland Park home left her shot and taken to the hospital.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of a shooting along Northwest 13th Terrace near 49th Street just after 5 a.m.

Responding deputies arrived at the residence and found 31-year-old Ruika Abdulrahman suffering from a gunshot wound to the arm.

Deputies administered first aid and Oakland Park Fire Rescue paramedics transported her to a local hospital. Her injuries were not life-threatening.

Back at the scene, surveillance cameras showed a bullet go through the driver’s side window of a white SUV parked in the driveway of the residence.

Crime scene investigators spent most of Sunday morning taking photos around the house.

A local resident said he heard gunshots, adding that he is not used to all this commotion on this quiet street.

“About 4 in the morning, 4:30, sometime around that time, I heard like one gunshot and I knew it was a gunshot,” he said. “I was sitting there wondering what was going on and the next five minutes later I just heard police cars.”

A preliminary investigation revealed that the incident was burglary-related, and Abdulrahman was arrested.

BSO’s Oakland Park District Crime Suppression Team and BSO’s Violent Crimes Detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident.
