BE ON THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOORS
HERE AT ORLANDO REGIONAL
MEDICAL CENTER FIGHTING FOR
THEIR LIVES. AT THIS POINT, WE
STILL DON’T KNOW WHO THOSE 2
OFFICERS ARE, BUT THERE HAS
BEEN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT
FROM PEOPLE ONLINE FROM OTHER
AGENCIES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA,
JUST HOPING THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO PULL THROUGH. AND NOW
IT IN THE PAST COUPLE OF
MINUTES, WE’VE ACTUALLY SEEN
SOME THE MOST WE’VE SEEN IN
THE PAST 2 HOURS, JUST ABOUT
10 MINUTES AGO. WE 2 TOW
TRUCKS ACTUALLY ON TO THE
STREET. THEY WENT FURTHER DOWN
TO THE SECOND EMERGENCY ROOM
ENTRANCE AND THEY BACK TO WE
DON’T KNOW HOW THE TOW TRUCKS
ARE RELATED TO THIS CASE AND
WHAT VEHICLES THEY’RE PICKING
UP. BUT I AM LISTENING TO THEM
AS WE SPEAK, LISTENING TO
THEM. IT SOUNDS LIKE CHAIN UP
A CAR. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE
WAITING FOR THAT TOW TRUCK TO
PULL OUT TO SEE WHAT VEHICLE
>> WAS TAKEN OUT. ALSO, JUST A
COUPLE MINUTES AGO, I SAW
LEAST 6 POLICE OFFICERS COME
OUT OF THIS ENTRANCE WHERE YOU
CAN SEE THE CURRENT IS HERE. I
HAD SEEN OFFICERS COME OUT OF
THIS ENTRANCE HOURS. RECENT
EMILY, THEY CAME OUT A COUPLE
OF THEM HOLDING BAGS, ONE OF

QUIET. EVERYBODY, INCLUDING
THE OFFICERS ARE JUST WAITING
TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND AROUND
MIDNIGHT. I DO WANT TO POINT
OUT THAT THERE WAS A CAR THAT
CAME DRIVING INTO THIS
ENTRANCE REALLY QUICKLY. THERE
WERE ABOUT 4 PEOPLE IN THAT
VEHICLE. THEY HOPPED OUT
IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS THEY
GOT TO THIS CAREER. THE DRIVER
GOT OUT IN A RUSH HE WOULD
LIKE HE WAS IN DISTRESS AND
THEN THE SECURITY OFFICERS
HERE WHO WERE BLOCKING THE
ENTRANCE TOLD HIM THAT THEY
HAD TO WAIT. AND THIS GUY SAID
ALLOWED. THAT’S MY SISTER. I
DON’T CARE. MOVE PAST THEM.
ALL OF THEM WALKED INTO THE
BUILDING. WE DON’T KNOW AT

GROUP IS RELATED TO EITHER OF
THE OFFICERS IN THE HOSPITAL.
SO WE’RE STILL WAITING TO SEE
IF ANY FAMILY MEMBERS OR ANY
OTHER OFFICERS COME OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL AT THIS POINT. WE
WILL CONTINUE TO STAND BY AND
WATCH FOR ANY DEVELOPMENTS.
BUT AS THE CHIEF SAID, HE SAID
THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE
SUSPECTS AND THAT ONCE THEY
FIND THEM, THEY WILL BE
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. EMILY

BETTER IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF
EVIDENCE MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT
BEHIND MAY BE SOME BULLET
CASINGS. WHAT HAVE YOU? I’M

>> WELL, LISA, REALLY WITHIN
THE LAST HOUR OR SO, WE HAVE
STARTED TO SEE THIS SCENE
CLEAR OUT SOME JUST A FEW
MINUTES AGO. SOME MORE PATROL
CAR. WE’RE ACTUALLY LEAVING.
AND NOW THAT THERE’S NOT AS
MANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
PARKED AT LEAST IN THIS
IMMEDIATE AREA BY THIS TRAFFIC
CIRCLE AND MARTIN ROAD, WE’RE
GETTING AN EVEN BETTER
PERSPECTIVE OF HOW DARK IT IS
OUT HERE IN THIS AREA THAT WE
BELIEVED TO BE THE FOCUS OF
THE SEARCH FOR THE SUSPECTS.
NOW, BEFORE WE SAW SOME OF THE
LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENT START
TO LEAVE OVERNIGHT. WE DID SEE
THIS TOW TRACK HAD OUT. LOOK
AT THIS VIDEO. YOU CAN SEE
IT’S TELLING A BLACK CAR ON
THE BACK THERE. WE’RE WORKING
TO LEARN IF THIS IS A CAR THAT
WAS ABANDONED BY THE SUSPECTS
OR IF IT’S CONNECTED TO THIS
CASE THAT’S BEEN UNFOLDING
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. YOU CAN
SEE HOW MASSIVE THAT POLICE
PRESENCE WAS HERE. WHEN WE
FIRST ARRIVED ON SCENE LAST
NIGHT, OFFICERS SURROUNDED
THESE MARDEN RIDGE APARTMENTS
AND THE ROADS NEARBY. THEY
BLOCK TRAFFIC FROM GOING INTO
THE COMPLEX EARLIER AND WE’RE
CHECKING CARS THAT WE’RE
LEAVING. WE’RE TRYING TO GET
THROUGH. WE SPOKE TO SOME OF
THE DRIVERS WHO WERE TURNED
AWAY.
>> JUST GOT HERE. JUST WERE
STOPPED. WE ASKED HIM IF WE
CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THERE. AND
THEY WALKED ON BOTH SIDES. AND
SO WE KIND OF DON’T KNOW
REALLY WHAT TO
>> NOW BACK HERE LIVE THIS
SCENE IN APOPKA IS ABOUT 16
MILES FROM WHERE THOSE 2
OFFICERS WERE SHOT DOWNTOWN
LAST NIGHT. WE BELIEVE A
PURSUIT LED POLICE HERE AS
THEY FOLLOWED THOSE SUSPECTS.
OF COURSE, MULTIPLE AGENCIES
JUMPED IN TO HELP. WE’VE SEEN

SPRINGS EVEN FRUITLAND PARK.
I’M LIVE IN APOPKA. CATHERINE
