An Orange County deputy sheriff shot a man this afternoon outside the WWE Performance Center on Forsyth Commerce Road in east Orlando.
The professional wrestling training center called the sheriff's office about 1:30 p.m. to report that a man obsessed with a wrestler had returned to the facility despite a trespass warning, Sheriff Jerry Demings said.
"He was fixated with a female wrestler here," Demings said. "She was not here today."
A training center employee told the sheriff's office that the 29-year-old man appeared to be armed with a knife and at least twice before had been ordered to leave the area.
An injunction prohibiting him from returning there had been issued but had not been served on the man, who had a history of psychiatric hospitalizations, said Demings.
When two deputies responded to 5055 Forsyth Commerce Road, they found the man near one of the building's entrances and he charged them, said Demings, who watched security video of the confrontation.
Stephen Wahl retreated, running backward for 75 to 100 feet to avoid the man and fired a single shot when the man got within feet of him, Demings said.
The bullet struck the man, described only as 29 years old and with a history of arrests. He was rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center with a life threatening wound and was still in surgery at about 3:45 p.m., according to the sheriff's office.
"Sadly today, this culminated in this individual getting shot," Demings said.
Wahl and fellow Deputy Sheriff Dave Richardson were wearing vests identifying them as law enforcement officers.
The shooting is being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at the request of the sheriff's office.
A parallel investigation will be conducted by the sheriff's office to decide if the deputies followed department protocol.
The 26,000-square-foot performance center is several blocks east of Colonial High School and south of Colonial Drive.

Multiple high profile criminals and crime victims. To what extent? I've let these obsessions alter my work and personal life at times. That's as far as I'll go,though I feel lucky that I'm not crazy as this guy.

The sad thing here is that if this man's fixation on this female wrestler was romantic in nature, then it was futile from the start. As we all know, wrestling is a homosexual sport. Therefore this woman would have been a lesbian and thus uninterested in this man.
Nonetheless, this incident just goes to underline the unapologetic bloodlust of the American police.
