Orlando, Nov 7 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Jason Rodriguez was deep in debt and was so angry at the firm who sacked him, that he opened fire, which killed one person and wounding five, authorities said.

“Because they left me to rot,” said Rodriguez, who recently told a bankruptcy judge he was making less than $30,000 a year at a Subway sandwich shop and owed nearly $90,000.

The shooting occurred at 1630 GMT on the fourth floor of the Gateway Center building in Legions Place in downtown Orlando. The shooter Jason Rodriguez was born on 9-28-1969, and is said to be a former employee of Reynolds, Smith & Hills in that building. He was terminated from the company in 2007.

At the shoot-out, the many were injured and at least 1 has been confirmed to be killed. 4 of the injured are in a very critical state, at the Orlando Regional Medical Centre.

The suspect ran away in his silver Nissan SUV, and was later apprehended at hollow brook apartments on curry ford & dixie belle. It is said to be his mother’s apartment. Jason Rodriguez was arrested around 2:20 pm at an apartment at the Hollow brook complex after his mom tipped off the police, about his where-abouts.
