ECSO: One person killed, two others shot in shooting at Pensacola Home Depot

One person was killed and two others shot in a shooting Friday afternoon at the Home Depot on Davis Highway in Pensacola, according to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.

The shooting at about 1:22 p.m. was initially reported as an active shooter, and upon arrival deputies found a deceased woman who appeared to be a contract employee of the Home Depot, ECSO Chief Deputy Andrew Hobbs confirmed.

One other contracted employee was grazed in the hand and a third employee grazed in the back, Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons later confirmed.

"We do believe the victim was targeted," Simmons said. "The other two were a consequence of the tragic incident."

Keith Eric Agee, 20, of Bay Minette, Alabama, has been arrested and is currently being questioned.

Witnesses at the store said the third party company, RGIS Inventory Services, was hired to do inventory at the store.

Sgt. Melony Peterson said the information about the suspect was broadcast on the radio, and soon after Agee called the Pensacola Police Department from the Mellow Mushroom on Bayou Boulevard to turn himself in. He was taken into custody without incident.

The circumstances leading up to the shooting are being investigated, and ECSO did not have information as to whether Agee was also an employee of RGIS.

At this time, the identity of the deceased has not been released.

Jason Medina, spokesperson for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told the News Journal that federal agents from the Pensacola field office are assisting the ECSO.

Some of the witnesses on scene were allowed to leave roughly an hour after Agee was arrested, and as line of cars began to travel off the lot, some were crying and wiping tears from their eyes as an ECSO deputy lifted the yellow tape to let them pass.

The affected area was cordoned off while law enforcement remained on the scene, and motorists were urged to avoid traveling along Davis Highway and Brent Lane near the Home Depot. As of Friday evening, the store remained closed.
