(Coral Springs, FL) - A Broward SWAT team swarmed a Coral Springs apartment building Thursday morning in response to a deadly shooting.
Heavy police presence surrounds the 25-hundred block of Riverside Drive at the Coral Park East community where police confirm at least one person was shot dead. A body could be seen lying on the pavement covered with a tarp.
Officers with battering rams also entered the nearby Coral Tower building where a person may be barricaded.
This scene is possibly in connection with the shooting investigation. One resident telling WSVN that he heard gunfire, then saw people running away from the complex around 3 a.m.
Nearby Somerset Academy will be “closed for the day” according to the Coral Springs Police Department who is asking the public to “avoid the area.”
