Official statement on County shooting

Posted on August 12, 2016

From Pensacola Police Department:

Foul play is not suspected in the death of a man whose body was found this afternoon inside a building on South Palafox Street.

Police were dispatched to the old Escambia County Courthouse, 223 S. Palafox St., around 2:25 after receiving a call that at least one gun shot was heard from an office on the second floor where the man’s body was found.

Sgt. Pat Bradley said the building was evacuated and that streets around the courthouse also were briefly closed but have since reopened.
