A fan described as “deranged” was shot outside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on Monday after police were called to respond to a male trespasser who was believed to possess a knife.

The fan, Armando Montalvo, charged police and was shot by Cpl. Steve Wahl. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Montalvo has a history of incidents at the facility. The WWE says Montalvo spread urine and feces outside the building earlier this summer (you can see the video here). The wrestling organization obtained a restraining order against him, according to TMZ, but he returned on Monday with a knife seeking a female wrestler who was not at the facility.

TMZ has more details on Montalvo’s questionable behavior.

On multiple occasions … he allegedly showed up in a wrestling outfit, banged on windows, and threatened to kick everyone’s ass because they wouldn’t hire him. One of the times he was swinging a large chain, and police had to subdue him at gunpoint.

“Unfortunately a deranged individual with no WWE affiliation, who had a court order prohibiting him from being on WWE property, was involved in an incident with an Orange County Sherriff’s deputy in the parking lot of the WWE Performance Center. We defer to the Orange County Sherriff’s department for further comment and information,” the WWE said in a statement.

Police said they have encountered Montalvo three previous times this summer.
