ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – An investigation is underway after two men were hurt in a shooting near the University of Central Florida.

Several Orange County deputies responded early Wednesday near the campus after gunshots were heard near Aristotle Avenue, an area with several apartment buildings as well as some of the off-campus fraternity housing.

According to the sheriff’s office, the call came in around 12:30 Wednesday morning.

Investigators said one victim in his 30’s had non-life-threatening injuries, and another victim in his 40’s had critical injuries. Both were taken to the hospital.

Saad Hussain was delivering food in the area when the shooting happened.

“As I got out of my car, there were three dudes loudly arguing in the parking lot,” Hussain said. “I saw it escalate into a fist fight. A fourth man came out of the house with a gun, and he started shooting.”

Deputies have not identified a suspect or said what led up to the shooting.
