ORLANDO, Fla. — Two people were killed and at least six others were injured early Friday morning in a downtown Orlando shooting as thousands of people celebrated Halloween.

According to Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith, the shooting started at 1:07 a.m. at Central Avenue and Orange Avenue. One victim was killed at that location and a second person that died was shot on Washington Street as the gunman ran to another location.

A 17-year-old suspect was taken into custody, Smith said, who added at least one of the shootings was a targeted attack.

In accordance with Spectrum News 13’s crime guidelines, the suspect is not being named due to being a minor. That would change if the person is charged as an adult.

The gunfire erupted as thousands of people were on the streets for Halloween celebrations. Officials said nearly 100,000 people were out across downtown for the celebrations.

The six people wounded in the shootings range in ages from 19 to 39. Officials did not release individual conditions but said they are all in stable conditions.

A huge police presence remained throughout downtown with multiple streets blocked off.

In addition to Orlando Police, Orange County Sheriff’s deputies responded, as well as Maitland Police, FHP troopers and UCF police.

The shooting remains under investigation as officials look for a motive.
