The kicker paragraph in this article: "Dispatch and fire-rescue records to check the chronology of events have not been released because the Police Department's investigation is ongoing, but the four or five men who sat by helplessly watching Randall die estimate they were delayed between one and two hours before help arrived, attorney Douglas Bates said."

A Pompano Beach woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Fort Lauderdale, claiming officers refused to help her husband as he bled to death in the back of an SUV.

Chad Randall was heading to the hospital after a stray bullet struck him at a Fort Lauderdale barbecue on Oct. 29, 2006, when the driver pulled over after spotting police in the 1000 block of North Federal Highway, according to suit filed by Marie Anderson, 27. Someone got out of the car and flagged the officers down, she said.

Instead of helping, the officers patted down the vehicle's occupants and checked for outstanding warrants, Anderson claims in the suit filed May 20. Randall's brother told the officers that there was a man bleeding in the back of the vehicle, Anderson said.

"They said no, they couldn't do anything for them," she said.
