The two officers were responding to a call in the area and it appears they were ambushed, said Kissimmee Police Chief Jeffrey O'Dell.

One suspect believed to have been involved in injuring the officers, and two of the three suspects they originally responded to check out, are in custody, O'Dell said.

President Donald Trump has responded to the incident on Twitter, saying, "My thoughts and prayers are with the @KissimmeePolice and their loved ones. We are with you!"

In a separate incident on the same day, two police officers were shot in Jacksonville, northern Florida, according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office's Twitter account. But no further details were available.
