No bond for teenager accused of shooting at Orange County deputies
ORLANDO, Fla. - An Orange County teenager who was shot by deputies after opening fire on them will not be getting out of jail.
On Saturday, a judge decided on no bond for Bryce Theygan Weir, 19. In addition, the judge revoked his bond for previous charges from a January incident involving the shooting of two women. Weir has been given a public defender.
Weir was released from the hospital and taken to jail after being shot by Orange County deputies. He is facing several charges after deputies he held his girlfriend at gunpoint and forced her to drive to the area of N Econlockhatchee Trail near E Colonial in Orlando on Friday.
She was able to escape and call 911.
"At which time he fled from the vehicle," Orange County Sheriff John Mina said. "Our deputies knew he lived in this area and were able to locate him. At that time he produced a glock handgun with a high capacity magazine, fired at our deputies, our deputies returned fire hitting him at least once."

Deputies say during the January incident, Weir shot two women. Both victims were transported to the hospital. They received non-life threatening injuries.
