UCF police officer fatally shot by Orlando police
Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A University of Central Florida police officer was shot to death by an Orlando police officer outside the Citrus Bowl as fans were arriving for a college football game Saturday, authorities said.

Authorities did not immediately release names or the circumstances leading to the shooting, but Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman Geo Morales said the shooting was under investigation.

Witnesses told the Orlando Sentinel that the incident started with an undercover officer breaking up a tailgate party. When he encountered resistance, they said, he fired three shots into the air. An Orlando Police officer then saw the man with the gun and shot him several times, the newspaper said.

Authorities believed a third person was involved, said Barbara Jones, spokeswoman for the Orlando Police Department. Jones refused to say if the person was injured.

A telephone message left Saturday night for the UCF Police Department was not immediately returned.

The shooting occurred before the University of Central Florida's victory over Marshall University.

"It's pretty freaky. You don't think you would see this at a UCF game," junior Nicole Jorgensen, 22, of Melbourne.

Tragic,

I wasn't aware that the police would fire warning shots. I thought that they would only shoot when their life or someones else's life was in danger; and when they shot it was to kill (not a warning).

From what everyone around here is saying the officer was trying to check a girls ID and her friend tried to run the cop off. Then a bunch of guys decide to throw beer bottles at him. He pulled his gun and tried to identify himself but everyone saw the gun and fighted even more to get the gun away. One of the guys either pushed,grabbed, or hit the cop and the cop shot him in the stomach. An OPD officer ran over saw the undercover with a gun and shot him 4 times in the back killing him. The guy shot in the stomach is fine, he even called in to work to let them know he wouldn't make it in that day.
