Police had a chopper circling this area earlier, and they also have a K-9 unit there. Our crew saw a man being placed into the back of a police cruiser at this scene.
The other scene is on Edison Avenue next to City of Palms Park. It’s blocked off between Jackson Street and Royal Palm Avenue. We saw police there with their flashlights canvassing that area, and a handcuffed
woman being put in the back of a police cruiser.
Now over at the hospital we saw police near the emergency room entrance. They are investigating a car parked in the parking lot over there.
We are working to find out if the three different scenes are connected.
