Orlando mourns deaths of 2 officers; manhunt in 2nd day

ORLANDO - Law enforcement officers in Orlando were engaged in a massive manhunt early Tuesday for a man accused of fatally shooting a police officer who approached him outside a Wal-Mart.

The manhunt itself has led to the death of a sheriff's deputy in a traffic accident and the injury of another officer.

Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, 42, was killed outside the Wal-Mart store in northwest Orlando early Monday, and Orange County Sheriff's Office Deputy 1st Class Norman Lewis was killed more than two hours later in a crash while responding to a manhunt for Markeith Loyd, 41.

Another Orlando police officer was involved in a crash while responding to the shooting but had only minor injuries.
