Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies reportedly arrived on the scene at approximately 11:30 a.m., according to FOX 35.
Logan Allegedly Hid In The Back Seat Of The Woman’s Car
According to an affidavit obtained by FOX 35 News, the woman said that when she got into her vehicle on the fourth floor of the parking garage, she noticed that her seat had been moved. In addition, she also noticed something in her back seat. At that point, she saw Logan pointing a gun at her.
She reportedly asked Logan, “Why are you doing this to me?”
That’s when Logan allegedly fired a shot as the woman got out of the car and ran. He chased her and reportedly fired another two shots at her, but he missed, and the woman was not shot.
Logan Allegedly Pistol-Whipped Woman
Logan reportedly also chased the woman and pistol-whipped her in the back of the head. In addition, he allegedly got on top of her and tried to reload the gun as he held her down. A witness said the woman identified herself as Logan’s wife, according to WESH 2 News. She was able to get away from Logan and into an elevator. Logan was later captured.
Witness Fero Alhajjah told WESH 2 News that he heard three gunshots in the parking garage. Alhajjah also said that when he asked the woman if she was okay, she allegedly said:
“No, I’m not okay. My husband tried to shoot me.”
The shooting reportedly caused the Orange County Courthouse complex to go on lockdown for several hours. The Orlando Fire Department and the Orlando Police Department were also on the scene.
Subsequently, Logan was charged with Attempted First Degree Murder with a Firearm. Not only that, but it appears that the authorities threw the book at Logan. He was also charged with Aggravated Battery with Firearm (Domestic Violence), Aggravated Battery with Firearm (Domestic Violence), Armed Burglary of Conveyance w/ Firearm, Burglary of Conveyance w/ Assault/Battery, Robbery with a Firearm, Aggravated Stalking (Domestic Violence), False Imprisonment (With a Weapon), and Battery (Domestic Violence).
