UPDATE: Bermuda Club Community was shaken today after three deputies were shot while attempting to serve an eviction notice, prompting one of the largest law-enforcement responses residents say they have ever witnessed.
According to witnesses, the situation escalated rapidly after the deputies approached the residence. Within moments, shots were fired, triggering an urgent call for backup. Three ambulances rushed into the community as deputies worked to secure the scene and tend to the injured officers.
A heavy police presence quickly formed around the neighborhood. Roads were immediately blocked off, including a major intersection that was shut down as deputies monitored traffic and prevented anyone from entering the area. A helicopter circled overhead throughout the incident, providing aerial support and surveillance as specialized units arrived.
A full SWAT team was deployed to the scene, adding armored vehicles and tactical gear to a response that residents described as “unlike anything they had ever seen.”
One eyewitness reported that when the first ambulance returned from A1A, it was escorted by three or four sheriff’s vehicles speeding across the bridge with lights and sirens on, underscoring the urgency of the situation and the critical condition of the injured deputies.
Authorities have not yet released details about the suspect or the events leading up to the shooting. The condition of the deputies was also not immediately available. The investigation is ongoing, and the area is expected to remain restricted while law enforcement processes the scene.
Residents of Bermuda Club Community remain rattled as they await updates, many expressing shock at the intensity of the response and the violence that unfolded within their normally quiet neighborhood.
