Bodycam footage from the Orlando Police Department has shown Florida police officers taking part in a shootout in broad daylight.
The shooting, which included three suspects, took place on Tuesday at around 1pm in central Orlando.
Orlando Police Chief Orlando Rolón said during a press briefing on Tuesday that police approached three men on the pavement when shots were fired, with several bullets hitting the unmarked police car, from where the officers fired back several times.
“We are very fortunate not to be speaking about an officer-involved shooting where we may have lost one of our officers in this incident,” Chief Rolón said, according to Fox 35. “We’re kind of puzzled as to how this happened. Again, the officers simply pulled up, as they tried to make contact, before they could get out of their car, there are shots that went into that vehicle that they were in.”
The three suspects, who are all in custody, have been charged with attempted first-degree murder on a law enforcement officer with a firearm and with aggravated assault with a firearm.

25 percent of the population is protected and allowed to do this by our so called leaders today
The 17 year old perp has the smug look of a punk who knows he’ll likely only go to juvie.
I saw the video. Before they knew it, I saw four shots pierce the passenger side window. How no officer is dead is a miracle.
12.1% actually. And of those, around 4% of the total population are black males 14-35 YO. They commit more than 50% of the homicides in the US, and greater than 70% of all robberies.
Michael Collins? Funny, he doesn’t look Irish.
Surplus population
The lives of those three blacks should not matter. They have no value for America
It’s not just black males. Hispanic males are also a protected class.
It used to be more common that when some punk fired on a cop, he faced a low probability of being taken alive for trial.
As evidenced by the murder of Kate Steinle.
CW2 will be the cities against the suburbs, and the main focus will be in keeping them contained within the cities.
“Mr. Weston? “Mr.” Collins?
WTF???
The reporter is sure giving a lot of respect to a couple of thugs/want to be cop killers.
Dollars to donuts that the guns were all stolen and of course that means none of these scumbags (definitely the 17 year old) were legally in possession of the guns.
Shouldn’t there be more charges added? ? ?
We should have picked our own cotton.
Were the three teens high prospects for football or basketball programs?
black Irish like Reagan
HA! You got that right.
White supremacists?
Orlando Police - must have been the Paramore Ave area, just across I-4 from Church Street Station, a tourist spot.
