Deputy-in-training involved in Osceola County shooting, officials say

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Officials are investigating a deputy-involved shooting Sunday night in Osceola County.

Investigators said a deputy-in-training arrived to the area of Conrad Court near Waterbridge Lane to respond to a disturbance, which led to the deputy opening fire on someone.

The deputy was not hurt, officials said, but a male suspect was taken to a hospital and is now in stable condition.

Officials said the deputy-in-training is a sworn deputy, but he's matched up with a senior deputy as he trains.

Deputies haven’t yet said if the suspect had a gun.

Shirley Madina said she heard the gunshots as she was in bed watching TV. One of the bullets hit her garage door.

"I didn’t see it until this morning," Madina said.

Neighbors said a car with shattered windows that was towed away from the scene was spotted being driven around the area and parked on Conrad Street before shots were fired. Deputies have not said if the vehicle was involved in the shooting.

"It’s shocking when you come out and see all of these police cars and somebody get shot right here. It’s shocking, right?" Edward Robinson said.

The deputy involved in the shooting is on paid leave, which is standard policy.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken over the investigation.

No other details were immediately known.
