PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – UPDATE 5:10 PM – The active shooter situation in Panama City, Fla has ended. The suspect, identified as Kevin Robert Holroyd, is dead, officials say.

Holroyd was found dead inside the barricaded apartment in Panama City after law enforcement used an armored vehicle to breach the second-floor residence Tuesday afternoon, following a gunfight with law enforcement that had deputies pinned down, according to Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford. 

The Sheriff’s Office used armored vehicles to extract the people engaged in gunfire with the shooter before attempting to breach his room, according to Ford. 

Ford said that the suspect seemed to have taken his own life after they breached the room, and that Holroyd had drenched the room in gasoline and was attempting to light a flare before taking his life. 

A civilian that lived in the apartment complex was struck by a bullet after coming out of her apartment to check on the gasoline fumes, according to Ford. As she attempted to run from the suspect, she was hit in the shoulder by gunfire. 

Holroyd is the suspect in the Tuesday morning homicide of a man found shot multiple times in the Santa Rosa Beach area in Walton County, Fla. The man who was shot has been identified as Clinton Street, 30, a native of Birmingham, Ala. 

CBS 42 in Birmingham spoke with Street’s mother. She tells us he is a graduate of Oak Mountain High School and that he lived in Florida where he worked for Destiny Reality. She last saw him on Mother’s Day Weekend when she visited him in Florida.
