The sheriff\u2019s office called it an isolated incident and said there was no threat to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt is currently a shooting investigation. We do have multiple persons involved,\u201d a sheriff\u2019s office spokesperson said. \u201cAnd it appears that all of those persons are accounted for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Several area schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution after the shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A heavy law enforcement presence remained in the neighborhood during the on-scene investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Deputies were checking the identification of residents entering the gated Amberlea community to ensure only residents could access the area around the crime scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">One resident who lives across the street said he heard gunshots around noon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cA little in shock,\u201d the neighbor said. \u201cHappening right here in my neighborhood. And Amberlea is a safe community. I mean, it\u2019s gated. And just people dying &#8230; it\u2019s horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Sarasota County Sheriff\u2019s Office did not immediately identify the victims or say how many people were killed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The home had been the subject of two previous police calls, though officials said it did not appear to be a suspicious residence or one that routinely required police services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WWSB via Gray Local Media, Inc.
