'All you hear are shots': Witnesses describe deputy-involved shooting outside Target store in Florida

Deadly shooting involving deputies outside Florida Target

One person is dead, and three others were injured after a shooting at a Target store Wednesday night in Kissimmee, Florida.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - One suspect is dead and two others were injured after a shooting outside a Target store in Kissimmee on Wednesday night. Osceola County Sheriff Marcos R. Lopez told reporters that two of his deputies were involved in the shooting and are OK.

The chaos erupted just after 8 p.m. at a busy store on Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. Cellphone video taken by employees at the Miami Grill shows the moments after the shooting. The video appears to show at least two people sitting on the ground with their hands behind their backs, possibly being detained.

The man who took the video says the guys in the video looked young, maybe even teenagers.

"All you hear are shots going ‘bom bom bom bom bom.’ And then you heard return fire, ‘Bom bom bom bom bom.' And all I see is families laying on the floor so we started ducking around the bushes to see what’s going on. Then I go ahead and call my boss and I’m like ’look there’s some shooting happening.' I told the employees and the customers, so I sent him to see what was going on and he recorded that."
