Deputies: 2 injured in shooting outside Orange County karaoke bar

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Two people were injured early Friday in a shooting outside a karaoke bar in Holden Heights, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said.

The shooting was reported shortly after 3 a.m. outside Q Karaoke Bar on South Orange Blossom Trail near 44th Street, Orange County Lt. William Bartlett said.

One person was found in the parking lot with a gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital in stable condition, Bartlett said.

Deputies said a second person was dropped off at the hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.

Maintenance worker Roger Williams, who works nearby, told Channel 9 that after the bar closes, he often sees patrons hanging out in the parking lot causing a “ruckus."

“They usually leave out of here [at] about 2:30, 3 every morning,” he said. “Some mornings, they'll be out here until 7 in the parking lot, having fun, breaking glass.”

Williams said he was painting when he heard nearly 20 gunshots.

“I heard the shots from the outside, started to walk over here and then I heard the second,” he said. “That's when I said, ‘Let me turn around.’”

Witnesses said the victims were shot after the bar had closed.

Deputies were seen taking one person into custody.

No other details were given.

The incident remains under investigation.
