This all began around 5:45 p.m. Thursday, when Auburndale police and Polk County deputies got a report of four men robbing the Cash America pawn shop on Havendale Boulevard. The suspects were described as four men, three of whom were armed.
The suspect vehicle, a GMC SUV, was later spotted heading eastbound along U.S. 17/U.S. 92 in Haines City. Haines City police pursued the vehicle, and the suspects allegedly opened fire on the officer, who was not hit... At one point, the suspects' car crashed in the Chanler Ridge subdivision, west of U.S. 27 and north of U.S. 17/92. The four men fled on foot, but one was caught by a sheriff's canine team.
A resident told deputies to check a neighbor's house, and police then set up a perimeter with law enforcement from Haines City, Polk County and Auburndale.

Four suspected pawn-shop robbers are accused of killing a woman and her adult daughter in their home late Thursday after crashing an SUV into their Polk County subdivision during a gun battle with authorities.
The victims were identified as Deborah Royal, 51, and her mother Patricia Moran, 72, both of Haines City...
"This vehicle becomes lost. They don't know where they are. They're trying to get away from the police officers," Judd said. Officers soon received a 911 call from a neighbor who had gone to check on the victims after hearing sirens. The neighbor told officers she heard the women screaming "no" repeatedly from inside, Judd said.
