The second police officer who was shot in Kissimmee, Fla., on Friday has died after being hospitalized for his injuries.

The Associated Press and Buzzfeed reported that Sgt. Sam Howard, 36, was shot in an "ambush" style attack Friday night alongside another officer, Matthew Baxter.

Baxter, who was 27, died of his injuries shortly after the attack.

Kissimee Police Chief Jeff O’Dell said the shooting, which happened at about 9:30 p.m. in the central Florida town, looked like a possible police ambush. According to O'Dell, there was no reason for violence at the scene, which was described as a call about "suspicious activity."

“Officer Matthew Baxter succumbed to his injuries. Officer Sam Howard is in very grave condition,” the Kissimmee police tweeted.

“Nobody was being placed in handcuffs,” O'Dell said. “If all things checked out, the officers would have been on their way.”

Police arrested Everett Miller, 45, at the scene. He has been charged with first-degree murder.

In a statement, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) said the state has "zero tolerance" for violence against law enforcement.

"Let me be very clear — last night’s violence against our law enforcement community is reprehensible and has no place in our state," Scott said. "Florida has zero tolerance for violence and we will not accept hatred for one second."
