Police in Orlando say a gunman has been
apprehended after killing one person and injuring five others at a
downtown office building where he was let go two years ago.
Police Chief Val Demings says 40-year-old Jason Rodriguez
surrendered to police at his mother’s home after officers saw him
through a window and asked him to come out.
She confirms that one person was killed in the shooting at the
Legion Place office building downtown. Five others were hurt.

People of about 6 were nearly killed in the shooting incident. The Ft. Hood massacre and the Orlando shooting both occurred within 24 hours of each other – Nidal Malik Hasan and Jason Rodiguez (both allegedly) went on their deadly sprees in such close proximity. Of course, neither had anything to do with the other, but that’s pretty creepy when you think about it. Thankfully, both are in custody – Rodriguez was peacefully arrested hours after he killed one and wounded five, and Hasan is in the hospital after being shot four times. The officer, Kimberly Munley, deserves high praise for her bravery despite being wounded, and doubtless saved more lives. The President attended services for the Ft. Hood massacre victims – I’d give money now to have them both strung up.
