BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — With the disclaimer that this is a developing story and we’re awaiting official details from the FBI, multiple witnesses report to BocaNewsNow.com that agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation engaged in gunfire with a suspect in West Boca Raton early Tuesday morning.
The gunfire apparently involved the FBI’s attempt to execute a warrant in Southwind Lakes. A person was ultimately taken into custody. The action started around 6 a.m.
There are no reports of injuries. It was not immediately clear what led to the warrant service or what other agencies were involved.
