Shooting in Orlando with multiple fatalities.

Edit: Six dead including suspect, seven wounded. Former employee who was fired was the shooter. He was 45 and had a minor criminal record. Sheriff says no reason to believe suspect was a member of any subversive organization, and it looks like a workplace violence incident.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/06/05/multiple-fatalities-in-orlando-shooting-officials-say.html

Occurred in an industrial area, and details are still emerging. Reports say it is not a blown speaker, burst water main, or large balloons popping.

It occurred inside a business, and a witness was quoted as saying "My boss is dead!" It is also the almost-one-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, and it is also Ramadan, so this could go either way as far as motive.

Please place bets as to the shooter's motive/ethnic/religious background here if you want, and let the poo poo-slinging begin!

My guess is a disgruntled white former employee that got fired and he shot everyone and the media said, "sweet!" and got a helicopter out there asap.

Important question did the people who got shot have guns? Because if they did then the shooter clearly wasn't the bad guy because if both people have guns only the dead one was bad

Yep.

quote:

Five people were killed in a shooting at Fiamma, a business on North Forsyth Road near Hanging Moss Road near Orlando, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported this morning, calling it a “tragic incident.”

The shooter — a former “disgruntled employee” who was fired in April — then killed himself, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said. The shooter had previously been accused of battering a fellow employee.

Four people were dead at the scene, and another victim died at the hospital, Demings said.

The shooting appears to have nothing to do with terrorism.

So really, it should be safer. I expect reports soon about how the shooter was stopped by a red-blooded American hero with a gun.

The shooter was stopped by putting a bullet in his own head, according to the sheriff; depends on your definition of "hero."
