At the start of the event, Governor Ron DeSantis noted a shooting in Indian River County in which "3 officers... have been shot" and said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is working with the county sheriff and local community.

Later, a questioner asked whether the state could assist in the Anna Kepner case. DeSantis said the FBI is the lead agency and that state agencies provide assistance when asked: "So we do, when we're asked to help, our guys do. I don't know whether our state agencies have been asked to help in this case. If they are, then they will."
