A suspect is in custody, after a quiet New Tampa night was pierced by the sound of gunfire.
According to the Tampa Police Department (TPD), at around 7 p.m. on Nov. 25, a male inside an apartment at the Carriage Place Apartment complex inside the Arbor Greene community (off Cross Creek Blvd.) began firing gunshots, after TPD officers went to check on his welfare at the request of the man’s family.
TPD stresses that the shots were not fired at officers, but a gun was discharged several times inside the apartment. The suspect would not exit his apartment and the TPD Tactical Response Team eventually made entry into the apartment and took the man into custody.
The suspect’s name had not yet been released as we went to press with this issue, as he was still being evaluated. Charges are pending.
