Orlando, Fla. – – The authorities react to a scene in Marion Oaks, in which several law enforcement officers from the districts of Marion and Putnam are involved.

The SWAT team from Marion Sheriff assisted the Palatka police

What we know:

A great presence of the law enforcement agencies gathered in the Marion Oaks area as a Sheriff office by Marion County together with the team of crisis negotiations and the SWAT team to the Palatka police in an active investigation.

The authorities have asked the residents and drivers to avoid the SW 47th Avenue Road and the SW 48th Avenue, to warn of potential delays and to ask the public to follow the instructions from local officials.

What we don't know:

Officials have not published any details about the type of examination, regardless of whether the public exists an immediate threat or how long the authorities expect in the region.

It is unclear what the Palatka police authority prompted to apply for the support of the Sheriff office of Marion County and its specialized team.

The background story:

Palatka, about 60 miles northeast of Marion Oaks in Putnam County, rarely coordinates with the authorities of the Marion County about active investigations that are far south after Marion County. The inclusion of swat and crisis negotiators suggests a situation that requires increased tactical or negotiation efforts, although the authorities have not confirmed any specific circumstances.

What you say:

“We will provide updates as soon as they are available,” said Marion County's Sheriff's office in an explanation.

The authorities have not announced any additional information, but the law enforcement officers ask the public to report unusual activities nearby.
