The sheriff confirmed that a male and a female had lost their lives, and the gunman was presumed to have committed suicide.

"We believe the suspect is deceased," Sheriff McMahill stated, also assuring the public that there was no ongoing threat to the community.

He clarified, "The suspect was not killed by my police. We believe he took his own life."

Specifics regarding the victims and the shooter, including their identities and their relationship, were not disclosed immediately. It remained unclear if the victims were affiliated with the law office.

Emergency responders swiftly evacuated the building, adhering to an active-shooter protocol, authorities mentioned.

The suspect's vehicle became a subject of investigation, with police endeavoring to ascertain a motive.
