A man is in police custody after he allegedly fired shots inside his vehicle Monday morning at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines.
According to a Pembroke Pines Police report, employees at the airport saw a suspicious vehicle parked outside around 7 a.m. with what appeared to be a window shattered by a gunshot on the passenger-side of the car.
Employees told NBC 6 when asked what he was doing there, the man claimed he was waiting for his wife.
