Orange County deputies fatally shoot woman after 911 call

Orange County deputies responded to a 911 call reporting a possible assault inside an Orlando apartment and encountered a woman in her late 20s who attacked them with a knife. After breaching the door and hearing screams, deputies were forced to fire their weapons, striking the woman, who later died at a hospital. The incident occurred in the Oak Ridge neighborhood near the Mall at Millenia and involved two deputies who discharged their firearms; they have been placed on paid administrative leave. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting and will submit findings to the State Attorney’s Office, with the sheriff's office planning an internal review afterward. Key details such as the woman's identity, the presence of others in the apartment, and confirmation of the initial assault report have not been disclosed pending investigation. This marks the third shooting involving Orange County deputies this year, highlighting ongoing law enforcement challenges in the area.
