A SWAT standoff in a Clay County neighborhood overnight Tuesday ended with one person in custody, leaving residents shaken and seeking answers.

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — A quiet Clay County neighborhood was the scene of an intense SWAT standoff overnight Tuesday that ended with one person taken into custody and left neighbors shaken.

The incident happened in the Cross Creek subdivision on Cold Stream Lane, where Clay County deputies and a SWAT team responded just after midnight. Officials urged residents to shelter in place and, in some cases, evacuate their homes.

Neighbor Christopher Rodriguez said deputies came to his door and told him to leave his home for safety.

“When we started driving by all the SWAT cars, the police, all the people, I was like, ‘Oh, this is serious,” said Rodriguez. “So, we just left and stayed out, checking our phones like, ‘What’s going on?’ It was pretty scary.”

Another neighbor, who declined to go on camera, said she heard multiple gunshots and commotion just feet from her home.

Video captured by First Coast News shows a destroyed section of a fence and what appears to be several bullet holes in the front door of a home where the standoff occurred.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office confirmed one person was taken into custody around 2 a.m., but did not say what led up to the standoff, who the individual is, or whether anyone was injured.

Rodriguez said the experience was especially jarring because the neighborhood is typically calm and quiet.

“The community’s quiet, it’s always like that,” said Rodriguez. “I never would’ve thought something like this could happen right next door.”

The sheriff’s office did not hold a briefing on the situation and has yet to release additional details.

First Coast News has requested updates from CCSO and will provide new information as soon as it becomes available.
