An armed suspect was killed by Florence officers Wednesday night after he threatened to “shoot up” police headquarters, authorities said.

Around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, a male called 911 and “said that he was at the police department, said he was going to shoot up the place up,” police said.

Officers responded and found the armed suspect firing shots.

Police did not say where the gunman’s shots landed, but officers returned fire, killing the suspect, police said.

Florence police said the incident is being investigated by the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office.

Lauderdale County Coroner Kim Jones told AL.com she was en route to the scene around 7:15 p.m. and did not have the gunman’s identity.

No officers were injured in the incident, police said, and there was no active threat to the community.

Further information was unavailable.
