One agent was injured in the gunfire and is expected to be fine.
The agents returned fire, striking one of the suspects who was taken to Osceola Regional Medical Center in critical condition. A second suspect wasn’t injured.
FDLE Special Agent Mark Brutnell says the situation could have been much worse.
