TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Tallahassee Police are investigating what they believe may have been a suicide at Villa Lucia Apartments.
The Tallahassee Police Department said that while patrolling the area at about 2:10 p.m. on Monday, an officer heard what he believed to be gunshots coming from within the complex.
At about the same time, officers said that the Consolidated Dispatch Agency received a phone call and the dispatcher could hear a woman screaming and what was believed to be gunshots in the background.
TPD said that all available patrol members immediately responded to the complex and began evacuating apartments near where the gunshots were heard.
