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.
