Two Law Firms Housed in Orlando Building Where Shooter Left One Dead
At least two law firms are housed in an Orlando, Fla., office building that was the site of a shooting today that left at least one person dead and five others injured.
Police say the suspect, Jason Rodriguez, is a former engineer who worked for a transportation consulting firm in the high-rise building known as Legions Place, according to the Orlando Sentinel and USA Today. He surrendered at his mother’s home.
Earlier reports said two people were killed and six were wounded in the shootings.
A spokesman for Rodriguez’s former employer, Reynolds, Smith & Hill, confirmed that the shootings took place in its offices.
An Internet search shows two law firms in the building. They are ShuffieldLowman and Miller, South & Milhausen.
Lawyer Will Halpern was among the last group to be evacuated, the Associated Press reports. He said the lobby was filled with about 20 officers in SWAT gear who were prepared to search the building.
