CAPE CORAL, Fla. – Dogs, drones, helicopters, and a terrifying scene unfolded in a Cape Coral neighborhood where police responded to a report of a man threatening another person with a gun on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made yet, leaving some residents concerned about the potential danger.<\/p>\n

WINK News was on the scene to gather reactions from the community. A woman working at a local cafe shared her concerns, especially since she lives in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

“I’m a little concerned, like, why we’re not walking this neighborhood, asking people if they’ve seen this kid. I mean, he’s obviously here somewhere,” she said.<\/p>\n

Michelle Clark returned to work less than 100 feet from the crime scene and described the lasting impact of the incident.<\/p>\n

“How quick you can be a victim to somebody else’s anger, violence, drug addiction? It’s very scary. We didn’t sleep real well around here last night,” said Clark.<\/p>\n

Other residents, like Mel Shaver, felt differently about the situation.<\/p>\n

“I feel very safe in this area. But every so often, something will happen or change that. And this was just one of those situations,” said Shaver.<\/p>\n

He added that, while he believes the Cape Coral Police Department did a great job, his confidence in their ability to catch the suspect is moderate.<\/p>\n

“I would give them maybe a six,” Shaver said.<\/p>\n

The police stated that this is an active investigation and promised to provide updates as they become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAPE CORAL, Fla. – Dogs, drones, helicopters, and a terrifying scene unfolded in a Cape Coral neighborhood where…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210,3837,325],"class_list":{"0":"post-121208","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cape-coral","8":"tag-cape-coral","9":"tag-cape-coral-headlines","10":"tag-cape-coral-news","11":"tag-collaborator_gen_stories","12":"tag-lee"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
