Thursday Afternoon

One man died and two others were injured in a shooting in Kissimmee that took place in the middle of the day on Thursday in the parking lot of a chicken wing restaurant, just outside of downtown, police said. During a news conference, Kissimmee Police Deputy Chief Betty Holland said that the shooting took place around 1:45 p.m. in front of the Mighty Wings Restaurant between two men in the parking lot, located on the corner of Orange Blossom Trail and West Vine St.

The Deputy Chief said it appeared that a stray bullet from the shooting struck a man who was driving by on Vine Street (US 192) at the time. The man in the vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries and it was unclear whether the man was actually struck by the bullet, or whether he was hurt by the shattered glass when the bullet passed through the driver-side window.

Help Now Osceola’s “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event raises awareness for domestic violence

Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes… not an easy thing to literally do, but on Wednesday night in St. Cloud a group of men walked down a New York Avenue during a crowded St. Cloud Monthly Market event, while wearing heels, to raise awareness of domestic violence in the community and to get people listening, learning, thinking, and talking about domestic violence, and how we can end this terribly tragic reality in our community.

“Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” is an awareness event for victim survivors of domestic violence bringing awareness to our community about what survivors experience, and how we can come together as a community by walking a mile in her shoes,” Executive Director Tammy Douglass shared with Positively Osceola at the start of the event.

Osceola County Clerk & Comptroller Kelvin Soto Esq. spoke prior to the walk, “our office serves dozens of victims who come through our doors, seeking the court’s assistance to break free from a life of domestic violence. According to data from the Florida Department of health, occurrences of domestic violence in Osceola County exceed the state averages with our county ranking 18th out of 67 in terms of occurrences. We are happy to join our friends at this important event, to “walk a mile in her shoes, standing with victims at every stage of their battle.”
