Our sister paper just called to report they are investigating a homicide in Fort Walton Beach and they were told that a suspect was getting ready to be arrested in the area where Panama City now has an active shooter. No confirmation that the two are connected.

We are cooperating with law enforcement who have asked us not to show officers in action during this active shooter situation so we do not give any information inadvertently to the suspect.
