BREAKING UPDATE: Hours after deputies surrounded a home on Sandy Hollow Loop in the Lakeside area this morning, a man surrendered to law enforcement around 11 a.m., Sheriff Michelle Cook said.
The incident forced the evacuation of some homes in the neighborhood after reports of gunfire, according to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
Cook said the calls first came in around 7 a.m. and included reports of “multiple weapons” being fired outside a home. She said when deputies responded to the neighborhood, they heard shots being fired and saw the man, who ran inside a house and barricaded himself inside. “We do not believe there’s anybody in the house with him, but because of his reckless and dangerous behavior, firing off weapons in the neighborhood outside of his house previously, we are here to take him into custody,” Cook said during the standoff.
“St. Johns River State College, which is just down the street, graciously opened their doors to allow evacuees to come down there. A lot of people were at work, and then those who did not want to evacuate, we’ve asked them to shelter in place,” Cook said.
