UPDATE: Reports from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department say 3 armed men invaded a home on Kayyaam Ave. near UCF at 8:15pm. It ended when the home invasion victim turned the tables, taking out his own weapon, and shooting the suspect.
The report states: “The victim retrieved his own handgun and challenged the suspects. There was an exchange of gun fire between one of the victims and one of the suspects. A Hispanic male suspect was shot multiple times and the other two suspects jumped from a second story window and fled the scene on foot. The injured suspect was transported to ORMC where he is listed in critical but stable condition.”
A Sterling Apartment Complex manager issued a statement saying at no time was there a shooting at the Apartment complex, as previously reported to the IFC president. The area where the shooting happened, on Khayyam Ave., is a couple blocks behind Sterling Apartments, and is home to several off campus fraternity houses. It’s been known as the “Greek Ghetto” for decades.
