An argument between two artists in Orlando ended with an officer-involved shooting Saturday morning.
According to Orlando Police, just after 2:30 am, they were called to Faith Arts Village Orlando, an art studio complex on East Colonial Drive.
Witnesses said the two artists were working in their art studios overnight when a text message argument escalated.
According to police, the victim called 911, stating they were afraid for their life when a 62-year-old man carrying an AR-15 Style Rifle started banging on their door.
Police said when they arrived that the 62-year-old refused to drop the gun, forcing Orlando Police to open fire, shooting and killing the man.
“When a person has an AR-15 turned toward you. That is a deadly force situation.

I’ll be going down to Phoenix soon to visit my mother. I normally carry, but now I’ll be a little more diligent and redundant. Nothing like an in-your-face real life example to wake you up.
Take a back up for your back up, Tox…or a re-enforced Rifle Squad. Good on the LEOs for going all John Wayne “Cahill US Marshall” on the perp, bowlin’ him over for a strike. Mighta only be one (1) gunfight at the OK Corral, but gunfights at Circle K happen all the time.
The “artist” found himself splattered all over the canvas. A twofer Tuesday DRT. Not bad at all.
Socialism needs to die of old age…they’ve run out of other people’s money.
Mr. Miller musta been thinking about The New Haven Arms Company when he wrote the song “Winchester Cathedral”. It is, indeed, a Holy Place.
RE the Maricopa story. There is body cam video out on the situation. The Officers chasing him on foot were unaware he had a gun. The first Officer was just about in arms reach when the shooter pulled the pistol, turned and fired point blank into the Officer, then kept running. Officer #2 then started launching rounds at the running shooter, placing a few extra holes into him. A pair of detectives were also in a car driving towards the shooter and the passenger detective also launched rounds from the window. The driver kind of ran over the shooters arm when he went down.
