Orlando, Fla. — An investigation is underway in Orange County following a shooting that left two men dead and two others in the hospital Saturday night.

Deputies say around 8:05 p.m., the shooting happened outside the Papa John's Pizza near Orange Blossom Trail and West Oak Ridge Road.

One man was found dead by a car near the establishment, and another went inside to ask for help. That man was taken to the hospital where they later died.

Two other men who were hit were also taken to the hospital and underwent surgery, according to the Sheriff's Office. No word yet on their condition.

Deputies were able to get a description of the car that fled the scene, heading south on Orange Blossom Trail. Shortly after a crash at the intersection of Sand Lake Road and Orange Avenue, the 21 year old driver was taken into custody on fleeing charges. It is believed that he is connected to the shooting.

No word yet on the identities of the victims, if police are looking for any suspects, or what led up to the shooting.
