Police said the man who shot two officers downtown Orlando on Friday night was shot and killed by SWAT team members hours later. According to Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith, officers investigated a vehicle wanted in connection to a homicide in Miami around 11 p.m. when a suspect shot two of them. After shooting the officers, Viel carjacked another vehicle and police pursued. NBC affiliate WESH-TV reports Viel barricaded himself inside a hotel room and later shot at officers before they returned fire, killing him. “Our officers faced danger throughout the night trying to locate the suspect as two of our own were critically injured,” Smith said.
