UPDATE 2:54 P.M. 2/10 SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said there are multiple victims dead after a shooting at a home in the Amberlea subdivision.

Officers responded to a 911 call from a nearby neighbor at 12:24 p.m. and arrived on scene at 12:29 p.m., police said during a press conference.

“We do have multiple victims in the house, and our crime scene forensics team is in there now doing the preliminary investigations,” a police spokesperson said.

No survivors were found at the scene, and police said they do not have any suspects at this time. The scene is limited to the home, and there were no signs of forced entry.

Multiple law enforcement resources are working the scene, including an unmanned aircraft system conducting overhead searches, crime scene investigation teams, forensics and patrol units.

A weapon was recovered at the scene, though police did not specify how many weapons may have been involved or whether they were connected to the incident.

Police said they have not been able to make identifications of the victims and have not notified next of kin. They could not confirm whether all victims were adults or if the people involved knew each other.

The home had been the subject of two previous police calls, though officials said it did not appear to be a residence of suspicious nature or one that routinely required police services.

Investigators are taking statements from nearby witnesses and neighbors and examining potential surveillance footage, including doorbell cameras, as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police said they are not looking for any additional suspects and believe all persons are accounted for.
