Video Released Following Fatal Shooting of Armed Man by Orange County Deputies

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Following a fatal deputy-involved shooting that occurred last month, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has now released the body-camera footage of the event.

According to deputies, the shooting happened on the afternoon of June 23 at the Isles of East Millenia apartment complex.

The incident transpired after deputies responded to a call regarding a woman whose boyfriend reportedly held her hostage at knifepoint throughout the night.

Upon arrival, deputies then spoke with the woman and determined they had reason to arrest the man, whom deputies identified as Todd Hannigan.

“For the next hour, deputies engaged in communication attempts with the 57-year-old man, who had barricaded himself within the apartment,” stated Undersheriff Mark Canty at a press conference.

Within the next few hours, a SWAT team responded to the scene and positioned themselves around the apartment, though Hannigan eventually came out of a room and moved toward deputies with a knife, Canty explained.

“That’s when two of our deputies fired their service weapons, striking the man,” Canty stated.

Hannigan was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

But on Monday, the sheriff’s office released footage showing more of what happened.

In a 911 call released by the OCSO, the caller can be heard telling an operator that her boyfriend had taken her phone and car keys. She then reported that she was able to escape when he “went into the shower.”

According to the caller, Hannigan had begun arguing with her after she got home the night before, and he threatened her by holding a knife to her throat.

“He’s been smoking crack cocaine for the last three days,” she can be heard saying.

Now, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the deputy-involved shooting. After that finishes, the sheriff’s office will conduct its own internal investigation.
