A woman is dead after an apparent accidental shooting in Pembroke Pines Tuesday morning, police said.

The shooting took place just after 1 a.m. at an apartment located in the 13600 block of Northwest 4th Street.

Pembroke Pines Police did not release details on the incident, but said it appears likely the shooting was "accidental in nature and without criminal intent."
