"This is currently an active investigation and Jupiter Police Department Detectives are working with the Town of Jupiter Building Department, Harbourside Place, and Florida Power & Light personnel during this investigation," police said in a Facebook post.

WESH-TV reported that Florida Power & Light shut off power to the area as officials inspected it. The Jupiter Police Department did not immediately answer USA TODAY's phone call requesting more information on Tuesday.

WPBF-TV reported that representatives from Harbourside Place said the incident happened in the restricted fountain area near the amphitheater that states "No Climbing" on the edge.

"Our focus is on the people involved and their families. We ask the community to join us in praying for them," Harbourside told the station.
