Eatonville authorities are on the hunt for four suspects following a shootout in Frances Jerry Park on Campus View Drive and Katherine Avenue, as confirmed by the Eatonville Police Department. The incident erupted around 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday, with reports of bullets striking nearby homes in the Catalina Park neighborhood coming to light, thankfully causing no physical injuries, as confirmed by WESH.
Recounting the fear she experienced, neighborhood resident Dollie McCall mentioned, as detailed by WESH, "It just sounded like somebody was shooting, you know, sounded like a gun, someone was shooting, sounded like what, a gun. It was like what? Bam, bam, bam." Her son Kenny illustrated the close call, a slug hitting their house's window just off the corner. Witness accounts like this underline the dangerous proximity the Catalina Park residents had to the gunfire.
As the search intensifies, additional details about the suspects have yet to be disclosed by law enforcement. Investigators have stated that they believe the assailants to be four men donning ski masks, with the shooting involving what they suspect were assault rifles, given the nature of the rapid gunfire. The sequence of events leading up to this violent altercation, however, remains shrouded in uncertainty, as reported by FOX 35 Orlando.
