Right now, law enforcement said at least one suspect is dead but it’s unknown if there is a second suspect.

Several people are hiding in locked areas in the area, which the AP reports includes many restaurants and shops along the St. John’s River.

SWAT team is doing a search inside the Landing and asked that people don’t come running out.

“We will get to you,” the department tweeted.
