A 17-year-old boy is dead after what Orange County deputies say was an accidental shooting at a home in Pine Hills early Friday.

Orange County deputies responded to the home on White Heron Drive just after midnight after receiving an aggravated battery call.

The 17-year-old male who was shot was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased. He has been identified as Brandt Glover.

"The preliminary investigation indicates this was an accidental shooting and all parties remained on scene. The investigation is ongoing and this is all the information we have for release at this time," the sheriff's office said.

There was a large deputy presence and a crime scene van, as well as several deputy SUV's, were spotted on White Heron Drive.

The shooting remains under investigation.
