Jason Rodríguez, 40, up three hours later, after the officers saw him through the window as his mother came home and asked him out, said Orlando Police Chief Val Deming. Orlando, Florida - gunner opened fire Friday in the office of an engineering firm, which was released over two years ago, announced killing one person and injuring five others.Asked by a reporter from a police station why he did it, he answered: "Since I left to rot." Demings said, Rodriguez brought a gun to a company in the center office tower, where he once worked as an engineer, but investigators are not sure what his motive. "It is a tragedy, no doubt about it, especially the heels of the tragedy at Fort Hood, which is our mind," said Demings. "I'm just glad that we have no other deaths or injuries, any more than our present." Charles W. Price, a lawyer who represented Rodriguez in case of bankruptcy, declined to comment.

Camille Previlon told The Associated Press her uncle, engineer Guy Lungenbel, was shot in the back and was able to talk but had not said much about the shooting. Company spokesman Mike Bernos said Rodriguez was an entry-level engineer who was fired in June 2007 after working there for a year. "His performance wasn't up to our standards, so we terminated him," Bernos said. There had been no contact between the company and Rodriguez since then. After the lunchtime shooting, people streamed out of the Legion Place building and some said they had barricaded themselves inside their offices while the gunman was on the loose. Gerry Gilgo, who works on the floor where the shooting occurred, told The Associated Press she was meeting a co-worker at the elevators for lunch.
