ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando police were involved in a shooting early Monday at a condo complex, but no one was injured, officials said.
The shooting was reported at 12:30 a.m. in the 4600 block of Cason Cove Drive at the Millenium Cove Condominiums near Interstate 4 and Conroy Road.
News 6 reporter Ezzy Castro reported that a large portion of a courtyard was blocked off with yellow tape and crime scene investigators were collecting evidence.

Police said later that they were called to the apartments after someone reported one of their family members left the residence armed and was threatening suicide.
When officers arrived and located the family member -- who police said was seen with the handgun -- Officer Ryan Sayer fired his gun at them, authorities said. Police did not provide any details on what led to the officer firing his weapon.
The victim was not hit by gunfire and was taken into custody, police said. They were later taken to a facility under Florida's Baker Act law, Orlando police said.
The victim's gun was recovered and charges against them are pending and will be determined by the State Attorney's Office, according to police.
According to police, the officer involved in the incident is on paid administrative leave while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigates, which is standard protocol when officer-involved shootings took place. Sayer has worked for OPD for two years and is assigned to the West Patrol Division.
The FDLE will turn its findings over to the State Attorney's Office to help determine whether any laws were broken, Orlando police officials said.
