Body found atop Florida Keys condo after shots fired, bottled thrown, sheriff says
Briefly

A concerning incident unfolded in the Florida Keys when a man was seen throwing bottles from a condominium rooftop, leading to multiple 911 calls. As deputies responded, they heard gunfire and established a perimeter around the area. Despite attempting to get aerial support, the Florida Air National Guard declined assistance. Eventually, Miami-Dade County deputies arrived with helicopters, revealing the man deceased on the roof with an AR-15 rifle beside him, leading to an investigation into the events surrounding his death, which was deemed a self-inflicted gunshot.
A tense situation began shortly before 10 p.m. when 911 calls reported a man throwing bottles at passing traffic from the roof. When deputies arrived, they heard gunshots and found him dead with an AR-15 at his side.
The Sheriff's Office requested a helicopter from the Florida Air National Guard, but when they denied the request, the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office sent two choppers, one manned with a sniper.
