Driver pulls up to ER in Bentley, drops off gunshot victim

DOCTOR PHILLIPS, Fla. — Channel 9 is working to learn more details after a man was dropped off at Doctor Phillips Hospital early Thursday morning by an unknown man driving a blue Bentley.

Reporter Myrt Price found deputies have tracked down the owner of the car and that he is cooperating in the investigation, but officials have not released the victim nor the driver’s names.

Authorities said they talked to both the car's owner and the person who was driving the car the night of the shooting, which happened at the corner of Kirkman and Old Winter Garden roads.

The driver said a dark-colored sedan pulled up to the Bentley and someone opened fire.  Investigators said the victim was shot in the face and car was riddled with bullets.

Authorities said the man driving the car rushed the victim to the emergency room and dropped him off and then jumped in the car and took off.

The victim was then airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center. His condition is unknown.
