At least one FBI agent is dead and several others injured in a shooting while trying to serve a search warrant at a home in Sunrise, Florida early Tuesday morning in a child pornography case, according to reports.

The FBI could not immediately confirm to Fox News the number of agents injured or any other details about the scene. 

The Sunrise Police Department said that residents in neighborhoods along Nob Hill Rd, between NW 44th St and W Oakland Park Blvd. were asked to remain in their homes, and were unable to leave their communities due to the traffic shutdown on Nob Hill Road. 

Multiple law enforcement agencies descended on the scene where the suspect was reportedly barricaded in their home. Officers from the Sunrise Police Department, Miramar SWAT team, Davies Police Department, and Fort Lauderdale Police Department were all on site.
