SWAT and crisis negotiators were able to track down the home where shots had originated from and the suspect surrendered without incident.

A Facebook post made by the police department warned residents to avoid the area. The scene has since been cleared.

The incident triggered an "active threat" alert at Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus.

The school released this statement to WPTV:

The Jupiter Police Department is responding to a call near our John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter and requested that we send out an alert for that campus. The incident did not occur on our campus.

The school issued "all-clear'' shortly after the original alert.

The suspect is described as a man who is in police custody.
