Osceola County deputies say a deputy shot a woman outside a Kissimmee bar late Saturday night after she pointed a handgun at a man and refused repeated commands to drop the weapon. The woman died at a local hospital, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
What deputies say happened
According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a disturbance at Sun on the Beach, a restaurant and bar at 5770 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee, shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 14.
Deputies say they found an altercation between a man and a woman that had reportedly started inside the establishment. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the woman had drawn a handgun and was following directly behind the man with the weapon pointed at his back, and she continued following him outside while displaying the firearm.
Deputies say they issued multiple commands for the woman to drop the weapon and she refused to comply. According to the Sheriff’s Office, when the man turned to face the woman, she pointed the handgun at him, and a deputy discharged his firearm over concerns of imminent serious bodily harm.
The woman was struck by a single gunshot and was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced deceased, deputies say. No deputies or other individuals were injured, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Investigation and what has not been released
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The deputy involved is a seven-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office and has been placed on paid administrative leave, deputies say.
The Sheriff’s Office has not released the name of the woman who died or the name of the deputy, and this report does not name them: the Citizen does not publish identifying detail beyond what officials release. The Sheriff’s Office said nothing further was available at this time.
The bar sits on the U.S. 192 corridor in Kissimmee, in the Old Town area. More from this desk: Crime coverage and standards, and our earlier reporting, Orlando Police Say Woman Charged With Murder After Man Found Dead at Shenandoah Way Apartments.
