Here are the top five stories today in Orlando:
1. A woman was found shot early Monday in Pine Hills, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office said deputies were called around 4 a.m. to the 2200 block of Kingsland Avenue for reports of a shooting. An investigation is underway. (Click Orlando)
2. People came together in Orlando on Sunday to support Ukrainians fleeing the violence. Dozens of people have gathered at Lake Eola Park for the past several Sundays to host rallies in support of Ukraine. It’s very upsetting that every Sunday, there are fewer and fewer people here, but we’re not giving up, Orlando resident Uliana Imangulov said. (WESH)
3. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said with low demand for COVID-19 testing and plenty of other options, the large county-run sites are unnecessary. County officials said without more federal funding, the last county-run testing site at Barnett Park will have to shut down Friday. Additional funding for federal COVID response was recently shut down in the Congress. (Click Orlando)
4. Miami’s World Famous House of Mac is coming soon to downtown Orlando’s SoDo at 2435 South Orange Avenue. House of Mac was founded by Pitbull’s former manager, Derrick Turton, and is known for drawing celebrities. It also rumored that Turton also has plans to open another location somewhere near Lake Eola in the near future. (Bungalower)
5. The Osceola County School District is hosting a job fair today to help with its bus driver shortage. It will be held at 401 Simpson Road in Kissimmee from 8 a.m. to noon. Drivers do not need to have a CDL to apply. The Transportation Services Department will provide those hired with the proper training to get a CDL certification. (WFTV)
