HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — I-4 reopened Sunday afternoon after the interstate was closed for hours following a shooting involving a Polk County deputy.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is investigating the shooting which caused traffic backups on I-4 on Sunday morning.
FHP first stated that the partial road closure was prompted by "law enforcement activity originating from Polk County."
According to deputies, one person was brought to the hospital, but no one was hurt.
At this point, it is unclear what precipitated the shooting or which agencies were involved.
