The Cape Coral Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred in a neighborhood located on SW 8th Place.<\/p>\n
A Cape Coral neighbor described how his quiet morning was disrupted when he heard what sounded like seven gunshots just before 11 a.m. Monday. Initially, he thought it was a car backfiring. Later, he discovered a bullet hole in his windshield, right on the driver’s side.<\/p>\n
“It’s extremely alarming,” said the concerned neighbor. “I have a two-year-old, like I said, and it’s very unsafe activity. You know, we’re just going to leave. And if you look at where the bullet hole is in my car, it’s right where I would be sitting if I had been, you know, 20 minutes earlier. Who knows what happened?”<\/p>\n
No injuries have been reported.<\/p>\n
Police confirmed with WINK News that they have detained at least one person and will provide details as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
WINK News reporter Cristina Pop was on scene and observed one person in handcuffs and investigators entering and exiting a house surrounded by police tape. The affected neighbor, who has a young child, filed a victim report and remains shaken by the incident’s proximity to his home.<\/p>\n
WINK News will continue to press for updates and will provide the latest information as it becomes available.<\/p>\n
