"The officers rendered aid to the subject, and he was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital where unfortunately he succumbed to his wounds," Hollywood Police spokesman Christian Lata said.
A perimeter was established in the area, and nearby schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution.
“The incident had nothing to do with the school, but because of the proximity to the school, and during the search and during the investigation, children were being dropped off, we decided to put a lockdown on the school," Lata said.
