The official website of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department made a report that there was a “suspicious person” around Epcot Resorts Boulevard. That is simply how the reports were called into the police, but they are still conducting their investigation to see what exactly transpired.

UPDATE as of 9:40 P.M. Eastern

At 7:22PM Deputies were called to Beach Club Resort in reference to a suspicious person. Someone at the property thought they saw a man with a gun under a jacket. Our Deputies responded and began investigating. They found no indication of anyone with a weapon.

Guests at the resort are safe.

We take all potential threats seriously. We encourage our residents and visitors to contact law enforcement if they see or encounter anything suspicious – and we will respond and investigate. That is exactly what happened at Beach Club Resort tonight.
