Multiple people are dead after gunfire rang out Tuesday at a home inside a gated community in Sarasota, Florida.
Six people, including the suspected gunman, were killed after authorities said a shooting inside a gated Sarasota community is believed to be connected to a double homicide more than three hours away in Fort Lauderdale earlier in the day.
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting happened on the 4820 block of Fallcrest Circle, prompting a heavy law enforcement response.
Deputies responded around 12:24 p.m., after a 911 caller reported that an adult male had been shot in the front yard of the home. Neighbors were performing CPR when law enforcement arrived.
The man was transported to an alternate location for treatment by the Sarasota County Fire Department and was pronounced deceased shortly thereafter.
No survivors were found at the scene, WWSB reported.
Fearing for the safety of the male victim’s wife, deputies entered the residence and discovered four additional deceased adults inside the home, two men and two women.
The incident appears to be isolated and investigators continue to work the scene, according to the sheriff’s office. There is no threat to the public.

The sound of gunfire was captured on a neighbor’s Ring camera shortly afterward.
No arrests have been announced and authorities have yet to release any information regarding suspects.
Authorities later confirmed the suspected gunman was among the deceased inside the residence.
