I mean, you just wandering in the mall shopping you would have no indication the cops are enroute to your location. Get naked and start dancing in the median of an intersection in the middle of the day and you can probably bet that they'll be showing up before too much longer.
There have been a few incidents in the Villages which quickly bring law enforcement like the robbery of one of the country club restaurants. Or something like that. A media helicopter was following the chase below as some cruisers ran after the fleeing subject through some fields.

What is different in the Charlotte tragedy is that the accused was given enough time to get into a good sniping position. Or, maybe, it was just bad luck that the LEO officers went past the window's possible field of fire.
