An active-shooter situation unfolded in real time on the air on Tuesday as multiple law enforcement agencies surrounded an apartment building in Panama City, Fla., where the shooter is said to have barricaded himself inside.
A WMBB local reporter was interviewing a witness on the scene who reportedly heard gunshots earlier. In the middle of detailing what was heard, both the man and the reporter quickly ran for cover after a number of gunshots rang out in the background.
