The suspected gunman, who caused panic for several hours at the Gateway Center building in downtown Orlando, was arrested at his mother's home after fleeing the scene, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Police Chief Val Demings told reporters.
Police named the suspect as 40-year-old Jason Rodriguez, who had worked for 11 months as an engineer at the Orlando office of the Reynolds, Smith & Hill consulting company before being laid off for "deficient" performance, a company spokesman said.
CNN showed footage of Rodriguez being led away in handcuffs and said he replied "They left me to rot", when asked by reporters why he had opened fire.
The shooting occurred a day after a mass shooting at a US army base in Texas which killed 13 people.

How come are we not branding him as Christian Terrorism. This is a pure Christian terrorism because he was Christian. Let us call Christian terrorism. We cannot have double standrd here.
BECAUSE HE DID NOT DO IT IN THE NAME OF RELIGION. HE DID NOT KILL NON-CHRISTIANS SHOUTING 'HAIL TO JESUS'. HE WAS JUST A FRUSTRATED,JOBLESS PERSON AND IN A FINANCIAL CRUNCH. SO, TO CALL IT AN ACT OF TERRORISM IS NAIVETTE TO SAY THE LEAST. HOWEVER, THE CRIME IS STILL A CRIME.
The reason it is not branded is because it is not. But, there are other incidents which should be accounted as you say. Read Christian missionaries all around the world.
I wish you all others good luck. You have to remember that your worth remains the same, job or no job. And start observing your talents and working on them, even if it means starting with the most rudimentary things can help your professional self-esteem and even help you start a new career in something completely different - if thats what you want. I hope world will become a better place soon.
Right and wrong entirely depends on whose eyes you look from. I feel the same after loosing the job where I've been employed more than 7 years.
