UPDATE: The Sarasota Police Department announced shooting suspect Ryan Flanzer turned himself in after initially barricading himself in a room at the Westin hotel at 1175 N. Gulfstream Ave.

The department's Crisis Negotiation Unit responded, getting Flanzer to surrender, the police announced at 8:16 p.m. The investigation is still ongoing.

Previously: A man identifying himself as a process server entered the residential building at 1350 Main Street wearing a tactical vest and badge before firing several shots into the door of a third-floor condominium this afternoon, the Sarasota Police Department announced.

The man, whom the police identified as 25-year-old Ryan Flanzer, is still at large following the shooting. The police said Flanzer should be considered armed and dangerous. 

Nobody was injured in the shooting, and nobody was inside the condo unit, the police said. The incident occurred at 12:10 p.m., and the police announced they were investigating the shooting shortly afterward.

Flanzer reportedly left the scene in a dark-colored SUV with the Florida license plate Y14XJN. Authorities are attempting to contact Flanzer to get him to turn himself in.

The police said this was an isolated incident with a specific intended target. The department did not disclose any additional details regarding the shooter’s motives. In an announcement, the department said it is not believed the residents of 1350 Main or the general public are in any danger.

Police instructed the public to call 911 if they have any information on the shooting or Flanzer’s whereabouts.
