FORT MYERS, Fla. — Fort Myers Police and the Lee County Sheriff's Office had a busy morning Wednesday, conducting investigations at three residences around town. It's unclear so far whether any of the three scenes are related.
LORA STREET SCENE:
Several officers with the Fort Myers Police Department blocked off two homes on the end of Lora Street in Fort Myers early Wednesday for an active investigation.
A neighbor we spoke with says they heard 20 to 30 gun shots around 3:30 Wednesday morning. They also saw police pull someone out of the woods near Belmont street and they were arrested.
The Fox 4 crew at the scene saw officers with guns drawn take two men and a woman into custody from a home just after 7 a.m.
**UPDATE** (11am) -- Police say they have made an arrest at the Lora Street scene.
They say ShotSpotter alerted them of gunfire in the area at 2:52 a.m. and arrived to see four men running from the location. One of them, 23-year-old Andrew Laquan Brown, was arrested on a drug possession charge. Two others were detained with pending narcotics charges.
A search of the home revealed cocaine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, a variety of ammunition and three firearms.
There were no reported gunshot victims at the scene. This incident remains under investigation.
