ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said the city will be implementing “controlled entry” checkpoints into the downtown area this weekend after a Sunday morning shooting left seven people injured.
At a press conference Monday afternoon, Dyer said the checkpoints will be similar to a safety measure implemented during the holidays. The access points will have police dogs and a way to detect weapons, he said.
“Incidents like this cannot and should not happen in our downtown,” the mayor said.
