1 killed, 5 injured in Fla. shootings; suspect held
A suspect was in custody Friday afternoon after a man described as a fired employee opened fire in the offices of an Orlando architecture company Friday morning, killing one person and wounding five, police and the company said.
Mayor Buddy Dyer announced the arrest Friday afternoon. He did not identify the suspect, but police said they were seeking Jason Rodriguez, 40.
Police said the suspect was arrested at his mother’s home.
One person was dead and five were in stable condition at Orlando Regional Medical Center with gunshot wounds, police said.
Mike Bernos, a spokesman for the architecture company, Reynolds, Smith and Hills, told NBC News that Rodriguez worked for the company until June 2007, when he was terminated for what he said was a “performance issue.”
About 50 employees work in the offices of the company on the eighth floor of the Gateway Center, a 16-story office building that was built in 1999.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist canceled the remaining events on his schedule and was headed to Orlando, according to his office.
