A shooting took place outside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on Monday afternoon that sent one person to the hospital with a gunshot wound.

Medics were called to the scene at 5055 Forsyth Commerce Road, the address for the WWE Performance Center, around 1:45 p.m.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to the facility for a trespassing call. Investigators said there was some sort of altercation, and the deputy felt he needed to draw his weapon and fire.

The victim was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

WWE COO Triple H has issued the following statement regarding the shooting that took place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on Monday afternoon that sent one person to the hospital with a gunshot wound.

I wonder if it was some deranged fan.

The fact that the person had a court order prohibiting them from being on WWE property makes me think it has to either be a known crazy fan or a former developmental wrestler who left on bad terms.

EDIT: Yeah, it's a fan.

"Shooter is identified as a 29-year-old Hispanic man who has developed an unnatural fixation with an as-yet-unnamed female talent. The sheriff said that the female wrestler was not present at the facility at the time of the shooting."

More details:

MyNews13.com has reported the latest details on the shooting at the WWE Performance Center. Police were called to the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and were responding to a trespassing call.

The man who was shot by authorities was not allowed to be on WWE property. A court order was previously issued against him to stay away from the building. Sheriffs said an altercation took place between the man and the authorities, and the deputy drew his weapon and fired at the man.

The individual, who has still not been named, was taken to the Orlando Regional Medical Center. Orange County Deputies also held a press conference on the incident.

– Below are some highlights of the press conference held by the Orange County deputies on the shooting outside the Performance Center (via Wrestlezone.com). It is being said that the man in question who was shot was “obsessed” with one of the female workers at the Performance Center:

* Police responded to a trespassing call at 1:30pm EST today at what they described as a “semi-professional NXT wrestling organization”.

* The man who was eventually shot had previously been banned from stepping foot on WWE property, and he was reportedly “obsessed” with one of the female talents working at the PC.

* The man was carrying a knife, and when two OCPD officers responded to the call, he charged at them with the knife. The officers retreated “75 to 100 feet backwards” before making the decision to fire a shot at the attacker. One shot was reportedly fired to take him down.

* The man is currently undergoing surgery at the hospital and the gun shot wound is said to be a “life threatening”.

* WWE employees are currently being questioned.

* OCPD cannot release the name of the man at this time, but he has a prior arrest record, with a history of robbery and battery against an officer.

* Corporal Steve Wall and Deputy Dave Richardson were the two officers at the scene, and Wall reportedly fired the shot which took the man down. It was said the two officers gave the man instructions and multiple warnings in attempt to subdue him before they decided to fire a shot.

* Triple H noted, and the OCPD corroborated, that the man had no affiliation with WWE and was not a wrestler.

* Wall and Richardson were asked why they didn’t take the man down with a taser. Wall said the incident happened very quickly and because there was a weapon involved, he made the decision he thought was most necessary.

The person was obsessed with AJ apparently.

In one post he posts a picture of the wrestler's chest as a desktop background and said, 'She's the finest ghost to ever bang! !! #WWE'.

References to feces or 'dookie' also feature prominently on a Youtube account run by Montalvo, where he posted a series of videos saying that he wanted to have sex with Lee.

In one ten-minute rambling video he said that he is 'the chosen one' and was 'rising through the matrix' to be with her.

On one incident he allegedly spread his feces and urine on the building and during another he was said to have come to the area with a large chain.

He was also obsessed with Lita. He had a large sign for Lita that said "Lita I Love you", a chair and binoculars when he was arrested at the Performance Center back on August 4th. Lita would have been in the building filming Tough Enough at this time.

Not remotely surprising. The feces mess included.

Also not surprised he's a hairdresser. I've yet to meet one that isn't a bit off.
