SANFORD, Fla. — Investigators say one person is dead and five others — including two young children — are being treated for injuries following a shooting in central Florida.
Sanford police spokeswoman Bianca Gillet tells local news outlets that four people were shot in a house following what appears to be a domestic violence incident early Monday. She says two innocent bystanders were also shot in another location in Sanford, which is northeast of Orlando.
She says the children are ages 7 and 8, and that all five shooting victims are in critical condition.
