Everett Miller, 45, was arrested at Roscoe’s Bar at 2344 N. Orange Blossom Trail bar last night. He was found carrying a 9mm and a .22 revolver. Authorities say earlier that night, Miller opened fire on two Kissimmee police officers. One officer died shortly thereafter and the second officer passed away this afternoon.

Officer Matthew Baxter was on patrol in an area riddled with drug activity Friday night. While he was responding to a suspicious activity call and “checking out” three individuals, Miller included, the men got into an altercation. Sergeant Sam Howard responded to a call for backup; Miller fired at both officers.

The police officers, who were not wearing body cameras, did not have a chance to return fire. Neighboring residents reported the shootings. The officers were found around 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Palmway and East Cypress Streets.The alleged gunman was tracked down by another police force. The suspect, who was seen reaching for his waistband when approached by law enforcement, was taken into custody wearing Officer Baxter’s handcuffs.

Governor Rick Scott issued a statement saying this event should

“be a constant reminder of the sacrifice of those who serve to keep us safe.”

According to Kissimmee Police Chief Jeff O’Dell, 27-year-old Baxter was a three-year veteran of the police force. He and his wife both worked as Police officers. Baxter leaves behind four children.

Howard, 36, was taken to a nearby medical facility, but died today as a result of his injuries. He served ten years with the Kissimmee police. He was married with one child.

Miller, 45, a Marine veteran, had recently been involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. O’Dell said early stages of the investigation show that Miller had made threats toward law enforcement on Facebook.

Friday’s shooting in Kissimme is one of three reported attacks on law enforcement officers in the country that day. Two officers were shot in Jacksonville, FL. Those officers are both receiving medical attention and are expected to survive.

Two Pennsylvania State troopers were also shot in a town south of Pittsburgh Friday night. They are both reportedly in stable condition.
