A gunshot detection system helped the Broward Sheriff's Office arrest two men and recover a large quantity of drugs as well as a stolen gun, officials said.
The incident happened Saturday night when the BSO's ShotSpotter alerted to seven rounds of gunfire in the 2500 block of Northwest 15th Court in unincorporated central Broward. No one was injured in the shooting.

As Moses was taken into custody, a second suspect, 44-year-old Bryant Holland, was spotted throwing two duffle bags on the roof of a home, officials said.
