PANAMA CITY, FL — A suspect is barricaded Tuesday in an apartment in Panama City, Florida, following an earlier shooting, according to a spokeswoman for Panama City.
One person had a minor injury and was transported to a local hospital, said city spokeswoman Caitlin Lawrence.
The incident is still an active situation, she said, as Panama City police, Panama City Beach police, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Fish and Wildlife and Florida Highway Patrol are responding.

When she arrived on the scene, she said she heard “multiple” and “loud” gunshots. She said the gunshots seemed like rapid fire.
