Authorities arrested an active shooter who they say opened fire on park rangers at Everglades National Park late Sunday.
The unidentified suspect, a 33-year-old white man with long hair, is in custody. There is no longer an active shooter threat but officials ask that the area be avoided, officials said.
No injuries were reported, officials said through the park's official Twitter account, but visitors and residents in the Flamingo headquarters were asked to shelter in place. Officials said the suspect, who was unidentified, "fired at park rangers unprovoked."
Main Park Road, State Road 9336, has been closed for the public's safety. Law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local level are all responding to the scene, authorities said.
