Police: Off-duty Orlando police officer involved in shooting, not injured

ST. CLOUD, Fla. - The St. Cloud Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting.

Investigators were called to the Tohoqua subdivision in reference to a shooting involving an off-duty Orlando police officer. 

St. Cloud police confirm that the officer is Julian Ortiz.

Officials say a man received multiple gunshot wounds and is in the hospital. 

Detectives say the officer was not injured.

FOX 35 News spoke to a neighbor on the scene.

“I see that there is a man with a gun and he’s pointing at someone in the house, and he starts shooting about five times," neighbor Andreina Lobo said. "I’m not sure. That’s all I heard, really.”

The neighbor said her house was caught in the crossfire. 

Bullets hit her garage and one of the family's cars. 

“There was a man on the floor by the time I checked again and he was bleeding out," Lobo said. "It seemed that he got shot. I’m not sure who he was. I don’t really know them. We just moved here and it’s only been a week.”

Orlando police say Officer Ortiz has been put on paid, administrative leave while St. Cloud police investigates the shooting.

The St. Cloud Police Department says it is working with the State Attorney's Office, but did not elaborate.
