Police in Orlando say a gunman has been apprehended after killing one person and injuring five others at a downtown office building where he was let go two years ago.
Police Chief Val Demings says 40-year-old Jason Rodriguez surrendered to police at his mother's home after officers saw him through a window and asked him to come out.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --
Police are searching for a gunman who injured at least eight people at a downtown Orlando, Fla., office building.
People are streaming out of the building and some say they have barricaded themselves inside their offices.
Orange County Sheriff's Spokesman Jim Solomons says his department is backing up Orlando police and they're still looking for an armed man wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans.
Orlando Police Sgt. Barbara Jones confirms there has been a shooting at a high-rise and multiple people have been hurt but she can't say how many. She says there is only one shooter.
The Orlando Fire Department tells WESH-TV that at least eight people are injured. Interstate 4 is closed in both directions through downtown and a nearby school is locked down.
Latest Comments
Police Sgt. Barbara Jones identified the suspect as Jason Rodriguez, 40, a former employee in the building who she said was believed to be at large and armed. Rodriguez was believed to be wearing a light-blue polo shirt and blue jeans and driving a silver 2002 Nissan sport-utility vehicle with Florida plates D119UX, authorities said.
Confused,what is so hard to understand that the reporters only report what is reported to them.You are confused,ain't cha?Or either you can't read,or didn't read the whole thing.It clearly states that the police said they were looking for someone in a blue polo shirt.That's all they said.Do you think that the reporters were there,or that they are just supposed to make something up?
So the man is wearing a blue polo shirt and jeans but nobody could give a description of the man himself????? Tall???? Short???? Build????? Hair Color????? Not very detailed reporting!
