The shooting happened at a house on 4215 Carousel Road in the Pine Hills area of Orange County.

Most of Carousel Road was blocked off by crime scene tape. More than a dozen evidence markers showed where bullets landed in the street.

The Sheriff's Office said it got a call at 1:55 a.m. When deputies arrived, they found 46-year-old Elouise Mcanuff with a gunshot wound.

She was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition, but as of Tuesday afternoon, she is now is stable condition and is expected to survive, deputies say.

Mcanuff's three sons, ages between 15 and 18 years old, told investigators they were sleeping when they heard multiple gunshots hitting their house.

One gunshot went through the house and hit their mother.

Forensic investigators are trying to figure out who was behind this drive-by shooting, though investigators say they believe the incident is isolated.
