‘Gun Response Team’ Investigating Pensacola Drive-By Shooting
August 8, 2012
The new Gun Response Unit — a multi-agency law enforcement team — is investigating a drive-by shooting Tuesday afternoon in Pensacola.
The incident occurred about 3:30 p.m. with multiple shots fired at a home in the 2400 block of West Jackson Street.
Pensacola Police Department Capt. David Alexander said multiple people were inside and outside the residence when shots were fired from a Dodge Durango that was last seen headed northbound on S Street.
Witnesses initially told police four black males with their faces covered were inside the vehicle when it pulled up to the house. Alexander said detectives believe more than one person fired the shots.
An exact number of people inside and outside the house at the time of the shooting was not available. There were no injuries.
The Gun Response Team is being utilized in the investigation of this incident. The team was first announced Monday as a join operation of theEscambia County Sheriff’s Office, Pensacola Police Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office. Also assisting in the venture will be the Florida Department of Probation and Parole, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the U.S. Marshal’s and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

What do you want to bet this Task Force goes away shortly after the election? Smoke and mirrors!
Darn, just as I start to dispose of firearms, we have a knife fight on South Palafox. I think I may have to burn my baseball bat and my axe handle. Where is this going to end?
The “Gun Response Team” aka “The Dream Team”….because somebody was asleep when they developed the concept.
I agree with SMaxson. Most of the gun violence has to more to do with drugs than it has to do with guns.
The gun violence not related to drugs is probably more impulse-driven, and not likely to be resolved by this “Team.”
They should get plenty of practice.
Not a member of the Gun Response Team but let me venture a guess on what its about….ummmm drugs?
Gun Response Team! Morgan would do better bringing in the Clean Sweep Team.
