A man charged with killing a worker and
wounding five others in the Orlando engineering firm where he once
worked has been denied bond.
A judge Saturday ordered 40-year-old Jason Rodriguez held
without bail at the Orange County Jail in Orlando.
His defense attorney, Bob Wesley, asked the judge that police
and prosecutors have no contact with Rodriguez without his
permission.
Police said Rodriguez told detectives he blamed the firm for
recent trouble he had receiving unemployment benefits.
The man killed in the Friday shooting was identified by police
as 26-year-old Otis Beckford. The five wounded people were in
stable condition at Orlando hospitals and police say all are
expected to survive.
