Deputies responded to the 1700 block of Oak Grove Chase Drive just before 3 p.m. after multiple callers reported gunfire in the neighborhood. The man struck by fragments from the fence was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
According to FOX 35 Orlando, early investigation indicates the shooting started when a neighbor opened fire on a fence panel. Pieces of that panel hit another man, who required medical attention. Deputies later arrested the shooter at or near the scene. Officials did not immediately release a motive or the identities of those involved.
