StunGun Kills at Universal Studios.
CTTA's Less-than-lethal training may help avoid tragic outcomes.
Orlando, Florida (CNN) -- A man causing a disturbance outside a movie theater near Universal Studios died Friday after being handcuffed and shocked with a Taser stun gun, Orlando police said.
Two off-duty officers who were working security in the area tried to deal with a man who was acting "irrational," early Friday morning, said Sgt. Barb Jones, an Orlando police spokeswoman.
The suspect -- identified as Adam Spencer Johnson, 33, of Winter Haven, Florida -- began to "violently" resist after one of the officers tried to detain him, Jones said. An officer shocked the man with a Taser stun gun, then he was handcuffed, police said.
While on the ground, Johnson became unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The officers involved were placed on routine administrative leave pending an investigation of the deaths, according to police.
