A fight between a couple in Hallandale Beach turned deadly overnight.
A woman in one of the condominium units of Park Layne Towers, 400 Golden Isles Drive, called 911 and told an emergency operator that she had been shot. She then knocked on a neighbors door for help.

Meanwhile the womans boyfriend, who police suspect shot her, barricaded himself in the couples condo.
Police department members then attempted to make contact with the resident of apartment 57 who were advised to go away, said Hallandale Beach Police Chief Dwayne Flournoy.
