Man dead, mother and child wounded after shooting in Orlando, police say

A man is dead, a woman is in stable condition and her child is in critical condition after a shooting in Carver Shores in Orlando, police said. 

The Orlando Police Department responded to a shooting near Poppy Ave. in Orlando around 8 p.m., according to a press release. 

When they arrived, they found a woman and child who had been shot, officers said. Both victims were taken to the hospital.

A male victim who is possibly related to the shooting was dropped off at Health Central ER and has since passed away from his injuries, according to police. 

 A FOX 35 News crew observed close to 80 bullet casings on the ground. One neighbor heard it all unfold. 

"'Pow, pow, pow!' I thought it was a machine gun. ‘Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!’ Laying on the couch watching the news about the hurricane. Gunshot right there," said Lee Taylor.

Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to call the Orlando Police Department or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
