SARASOTA, Fla. — Sarasota County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) said two people are dead after an apparent murder-suicide at a veterinarian office in Sarasota Wednesday evening.
According to an interview with SCSO public information officer Evan Keats, the shooting happened at 5:11 p.m. at KindVet of Sarasota Urgent Care on Clark Road.
Keats said a woman with a gun opened fire at the business.
He said the victim who was hit was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
