PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. — A federal agent was shot outside a Pembroke Pines post office Tuesday and authorities say the shooter is on the run.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection special agent is in critical condition at Memorial Regional Hospital, police spokesman Brian Davis said.

The victim and another man got into some sort of fight Tuesday morning in the parking lot, according to reports. The elderly man then fired at least one shot, striking the victim.

The gunman then took off.

The victim, who was not identified, was reportedly with his daughter when the shooting occurred.

Police and paramedics have surrounded the building. Investigators are interviewing postal employees and customers in the parking lot.

The suspect is a white male, possibly hispanic, 45-55 years old with a full head of grey hair and wearing a green plaid short-sleeve shirt. They are also looking for a grey/green late model 4-door Chrysler.
