A television journalist and 9-year-old were fatally shot Wednesday near the scene of a fatal shooting in central Florida, authorities said.
If a recent spate of mass shootings makes you think America has gone numb to gun violence, Zeneta Everhart would disagree. Her son was injured in a mass shooting in Buffalo last year, and she has since embarked on a mission to motivate citizens and their political leaders to find solutions to gun violence. A Florida television journalist and nine-year-old were fatally shot Wednesday near the scene of a fatal shooting from earlier in the day, sheriff's deputies said.
Deputies had initially responded to the Pine Hills area, just northwest of Orlando, on Wednesday morning following reports of a woman in her 20s being shot. According to witnesses, a man approached the news vehicle later Wednesday and opened fire, and then walked to a nearby home and shot the mother and daughter.
Besides the Spectrum News 13 journalist and the 9-year-old girl, a TV crewmember and the girl’s mother were wounded during the second shooting. They were in critical condition at a local hospital. “I want to acknowledge what a horrible day this has been for our community and our media partners,” Orange County Sheriff John Mina told a room full of reporters on Wednesday. “No one in our community — not a mother, not a 9-year-old, and certainly not news professionals — should become the victim of gun violence in our community.”
Spectrum News 13 is not yet identifying the crew members who were involved in the shooting, according to a story on the TV station’s website.
