I had to drive through Pine Hills last night on W Colonial around 7pm.  While Pine Hills is never a "pleasant" drive and I'm always hoping I never break down there, this time it made my jaw drop in amazement.

W Colonial was cordoned off, completely, around John Young, to mercy Dr, I believe, then the eastbound lane past Pine Hills Rd.  Police cars were blocking EVERY parking lot in this zone (so much for me being able to return my water pump core to the 24 hour parts store).

I saw nothing on the news after I got home.  There's been nothing about this on the 5am news this morning.  I see nothing online here.

It's perplexing that such an amazing police deployment wasn't plastered on the news.  What caused this?  I have never seen such a police deployment in Orlando in the 10+ years I've lived here.

This also raises the question - is there an online police blotter somewhere, where we might look up things like this (or even smaller calls)?
