SUMMARY: This afternoon, the Secret Service reported shots fired, prompting immediate action from local law enforcement. Officers sealed off the area and a witness provided crucial information about a suspect fleeing in a black Nissan. The witness also took a photo of the vehicle. The real-time crime center shared the vehicle details with license plate readers, leading to a hit on I-95 heading into Martin County. Police alerted the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, who subsequently spotted and detained the suspect based on the provided information.
