At about 1 a.m. on Friday, November 1st, Officers responded to reports of shots fired and minutes later, the officers witnessed a second shooting, according to the police.

One person was killed at the first scene and the second victim was killed at the second scene, police officials further added, with the Orlando Police Chief, Eric Smith saying that the suspect had walked by more than 10 officers just before shooting.

Surveillance video had captured the chaos of people fleeing the scene as officers arrested the suspect. At the time of this report, nine people, aged 18 to 39, were injured, with some in critical conditions, according to the police.

A student at the University of Central Florida had been among the two people killed, according to the university.

The Orlando state Mayor, Buddy Dyer had announced that he was issuing a local state of emergency for establishments in the downtown entertainment area. This means alcohol sales will be banned after midnight and a curfew will be implemented from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.

“It’s unfortunate that the changes in the state concealed weapons laws [in 2023] have made it even easier for people to carry guns.” Dyer remarked at a news conference.
