The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating a “shooting incident” in the Envision Credit Union parking lot that has left two injured.
Officers were dispatched to the scene at 600 N. Monroe Street about 11:17 a.m, according to the TPD site that maps police calls. They discovered a man and a woman with serious injuries, who were taken to the hospital. The man’s injuries are life-threatening, according to a TPD spokesperson.
The suspect remains at large and police have begun a manhunt.
A description of the suspect was not immediately available, but police issued an APB (All Points Bulletin) for a white Ford pickup with an extended cab, which has an FSU/Alabama house divided license plate.
TPD Chief Lawrence Revell was at the scene and said three people arrived in the bank parking lot together in the truck before the shooting began. He said the vehicle headed west out of the parking lot.
“The suspect has not been apprehended at this time, so we are asking the public for help in identifying the vehicle and letting us know,” he said.
A reporter at the scene, said there were 17 uniformed officers and seven police vehicles. The Florida Highway Patrol also responded.
So far this year, three people have been killed and at least 18 injured 26 different shootings in the capital city and county, according to a Tallahassee Democrat analysis of gun violence.
“We don’t want any acts of violence in our community, and so when anyone commits this type of act, whether the victims are known to them are not, we as law enforcement are going to find that individual as quickly as possible and bring them to justice as quickly as possible,” Revell said.
The broad daylight shooting came at about the same time lawmakers adjourned their annual legislative session about a mile away. Revell said there was no link between the two, but others in the process made connections.
“An active shooter is blocks from the Florida Capitol just as the legislative session ended,” tweeted former Democratic Rep. Andrew Learned. “I fear this is just a small omen of what their careless permit-less carry bill will do to increase violence in our state in the months and years ahead… Until we win elections and fix it.”
