One person is dead, and six others are hurt following a late Wednesday night shooting in Orlando, Florida, local reports say.
Officers with the Orlando Police Department responded to a home off Iron Wedge Drive and South Lake Orlando in reference to shots fired at 11 p.m., according to FOX 35 Orlando.
Once on the scene, seven people were located with gunshot wounds. One of the victims was pronounced dead on the scene and six others were taken to the hospital and are expected to survive, police told WESH 2 News.
The TV station identifies the man dead as 21-year-old James Jerry Dawn William III, and that police say the confrontation started between two parties at approximately 3 p.m. in the same location regarding a vehicle that had not been returned on the agreed date.
