A suspect is under arrest in a deadly
shooting at an office building in Orlando, Fla.
Authorities say a gunman opened fire in the offices of an
engineering firm where he was let go more than two years ago,
killing one person and injuring five others.
Police say suspect Jason Rodriguez surrendered about three hours
later, after officers saw him through the window of his mother's
home and asked him to come outside.
Outside the police station, a reporter asked Rodriguez why he
did it. Rodriguez replied: "Because they left me to rot."
Orlando Police Chief Val Demings says everyone who was shot was
in the offices of Reynolds Smith & Hills, on the eighth floor. The
five survivors are reported in stable condition.
A company spokesman says Rodriguez was an entry-level engineer
who was fired in June 2007 after working there for a year.
