Four police officers were shot in two separate shootings in Florida late Friday night. One officer died from his injuries and two others are in critical condition.

Two police officers in Kissimmee, Florida, were investigating a suspicious persons report shortly before 9:30 p.m. EDT Friday, Kissimmee Police Chief Jeff O’Dell said at a news conference early Saturday. About five minutes later a shooting was reported, and other officers responding to the scene found the wounded policemen.

O’Dell said Officer Matthew Baxter has died from his injuries and Sgt. Sam Howard is in “grave, critical condition.”
