ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orange County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into a deputy-involved shooting on Sunday night.

They said that deputies responded to a criminal mischief call just after 9 p.m. on Sunday at a shopping plaza on Colonial Drive and Apopka-Vineland Road. Witnesses said that a man broke a window at the business and pointed him out to deputies.

 A deputy reportedly approached the suspect in the parking lot and things went south fast.

"The deputy immediately returned fire, and the suspect was struck several times."

The suspect is now in critical condition. The deputy resigned to administrative duties while state investigators and the Sheriff's Office investigate the shooting.
