Family fight ends in shooting at Orlando home, police say: 'He done just destroyed the family'

ORLANDO, Fla. - Two people were taken to the hospital Monday morning after a shooting at a home in Orlando, according to police.

Police said two adults – a man and a woman – were found with gunshot wounds at a home on Fitzgerald Drive, near S. John Young Parkway. Both were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with injuries, police said.

According to police, authorities believe there to have been a "family altercation" that escalated to a shooting.

Pastor Stovelleo Stovall told FOX 35 News that the house where the shooting happened is the one he grew up in – and he says the man responsible is one of his relatives. 

Pastor Stovall didn’t explain what exactly happened ahead of the shooting, but said his relative began shooting within the house.

"Just opened fire," Pastor Stovall recounted. "This man turned around with a gun while everybody was in the house – my wife, my sister, people that was helping us clean the house up – and just went to shooting."

Pastor Stovall said he just buried his mother this Saturday, and hosted an event at the house. He said his mother had helped raised the man who wound up shooting at the family, adding that he's disappointed his relative would disrespect his mother’s memory in that way.

Pastor Stovall says his sister is in surgery after being hit in the upper arm. Another woman told FOX 35 the man who was shot is her nephew, and is in his late 40s. She said he was grazed in the head but is going to be OK.

"He done just destroyed the family that’s done the most for him, in the wink of an eye," said Pastor Stovall.

Orlando PD has not yet released details on the suspect's name.
