Anyone one know WHAT is going on 393 South...cops???

Three cops cars have been parked with flashing lights about 1/2 north of 30A. Been there for 4+ hours? Not sure what is going on??? Anyone?
 
Yes - it's just south of the cemetery on 393.

There was a shooting there this afternoon and they brought in the helicopter to airlift someone out - it was circling overhead looking for a place to land right after the St. Pat's parade got to Gulf Place.
 
NEWS RELEASE​
WCSO Conducts Shooting Investigation​

For Immediate Release
March 12, 2011

The Walton County Sheriff?s Office (WCSO) is conducting an investigation regarding a shooting that occurred after 3 p.m. today at 103 Country Club Drive in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.

One person is deceased and another person has been transported to an area hospital.

Investigators are in the process of interviewing witnesses, processing the crime scene and identifying possible suspects.

Further details will be released as it becomes available. The investigation is active and ongoing.
 
At about 4:15pm several police cars and trucks including Chief Atkinson came up 393 without lights or sirens and made a right turn on East Nursery, stopped before the first road on the right and all got out with guns drawn including long guns. Looked like they took several hispanics out of a trailer on the corner and were still talking to someone inside. An hour later some of the cops left but a bunch was still there at 7pm. Could be connected to the previous shootng.
 
Walton County officials are trying to identify a suspect in a shooting that happened on Saturday in Santa Rosa beach.
Just after 3pm on Saturday afternoon, Walton County Sheriff?s Deputies left the St. Patrick?s Day Parade at Gulf Place to a shooting that took place just down the street at 103 Country Club Drive. One man is dead and another had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital. His condition is unknown. The S.W.A.T. Team helped secure the area while the helicopter landed at a nearby church for victim transport. Officials do not have a suspect and are trying to figure out what happened.
?It?s early on in our investigation. We are presently interviewing any witnesses, processing the crime scene, and working to identify any suspects. Our investigation is active an ongoing and no further information can be released at this time,? said WCSO Representative, Mike Morrison.
 
Drug History on that road

Click to expand...

Not certain about what happened or who was involved, but police activity is not a stranger to County Club Drive (across from the cemetary). Lots of prior drug activity down that road (years ago). Most of the family involved has since been put in jail or has died. A few still linger in that area. This could be related to what happened...? Just speculation. :idontno:

I hope more information is provided to the local residents who have a right to know what is going on and what is being done about it.
 
When I googled the address last night out of curiosity (couldn't remember where it was), it came up as a listed address for Seaside Stables. Then I got really confused because Seaside Stables is not on Country Club Drive. It took me a minute, but I eventually put it all together as the people who own(?) and/or operate Seaside Stables are listed as the owners of the property where the shooting occurred. Very sad... I hope they're ok, but I'm guessing that may not be the case :(
