ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies are searching for a gunman after two people were shot outside an Orange County apartment complex Friday afternoon.
Deputies originally thought they had found a suspect nearby, but that ended up being a bust.
Deputies swarmed two apartment complexes along Dorscher Road near West Colonial Drive as they investigated.

The shooting was close enough to place a nearby elementary school on lockdown for about an hour and a half.
Gunshots rang out around 12:20 p.m., leading to a busy scene at the Woodhill Apartments in Orange County.
Deputies said two men were shot at the neighboring Wood Ridge Apartments and they ran through a gate into the Woodhill complex.
One victim was found in the parking lot and another was found inside an apartment.
A witness reported seeing at least one possible suspect running from the scene.
Meanwhile, traffic including a school bus to West Oaks Elementary, was diverted.
The school was also placed on lockdown because of all the activity going on outside.
Both victims were taken to the hospital but are expected to recover, according to deputies.
Deputies said so far the victims aren't saying much, but they hope to get more information from them to help track down the shooter.
