TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Around 4:40 p.m. Tuesday, law enforcement officers responded to a shooting at 2566 W Tennessee Street at the University Trails apartment complex.
According to the Tallahassee Police Department, a suspect entered the leasing office at the apartment complex and opened fire.
One person was shot multiple times and was taken to the hospital. Authorities say that person is expected to recover.
TPD tells us they believe the motive for the shooting happened earlier in the day. Investigators say an employee was let go today and the shooter is believed to be the boyfriend of the former employee.
The shooter was quickly taken into custody.
TPD Officer David Northway said, "The boyfriend is the suspect in this case and he is in custody at this point. The other half of it is being questioned by our officers at this time."
The leasing office was completely blocked off with crime scene tape as authorities investigated the scene.
Many residents were left to watch as the place they called home turned into a crime scene.
"I was coming down the street and I saw all the fire trucks and police cars and as I'm going to turn into the neighborhood and I realize I can't. A few people are walking across the street and they say someone was shot three times," said resident Amanda Squires.
Resident Tara Turner said, "I've been here for over a year and nothing's gone wrong and literally there's been nothing. This is a good part of town. I just came here to go to college."
Police are emphasizing that residents are now safe and authorities believe this was an isolated incident.
No names have been released by police at this time. It's also not clear why the girlfriend was fired from her job at the complex.
We will bring you more information on this investigation as it becomes available.
