A 17-year-old is in custody after eight people were shot, two of them fatally, just after 1 a.m. Friday in Orlando, Florida.

FOX 13 reported the incident occurred near an area where “hundreds of people were celebrating Halloween at bars, clubs, and restaurants.” There was the sound of gunfire followed, minutes later, by more gunfire.

The 17-year-old was tackled by officers and apprehended.

WESH noted that Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith indicated the 17-year-old “has a previous arrest record” and that he was not at the Halloween celebration long before alleged opening fire.

Smith said, “He pretty much walked into downtown, walked into the street and did what he did.”

Hmmmmm... No photo of the perp..

He hit 8 people? Did he reload?

[Red Badger]

17 year-olds aren’t supposed to have guns....................🙄

[Racketeer]

He must have been a very good shot. Is he related to the shooter in Vegas who harmed or killed so many all by himself a few years ago?

[Da Coyote]

Was it, Yogi?

[SharpenedEdge]

I’d like to place a small wager, BooBoo.

Why are 17-year-olds awake at 1am?

[desertsolitaire]

RumSpringa coming in late this year.

A friend of Tim Walz?

[Sequoyah101]

Nope and this is the last you will ever hear of the incident or him.

[gundog]

A minor....

“Why are 17-year-olds awake at 1am?”

For midnight basketball, of course. Problem is they are smoking marijuana and carrying guns. Dem Yoofs get high as a kite, then the beefing, then the shots ring out from being disrespected.

Our idea of doing ‘bad things’ on Halloween was switching up people’s pumpkins. We would take someone’s teeny pumpkin and switch it with a HUGE pumpkin from another neighbor. we were such nerds.

[glaseatr]

What in the Hell are people doing out at 1am on a work night??

Oh that's right, they don't work and we get to pay for this!

“Child” labor laws have killed any incentive to employ the 12-21 set. Should have been out bailing hay and too tired to go clubbing/partying.

“He must have been a very good shot”

No, did you see how big that crowd was?

Just firing wild would have hit 8.....thank God it wasn’t more.

[Does so]

“Imagine how great this country would be had it none of these sub-human hoo hoo haa haas roaming its streets.”

Criticism from overseas doesn’t take this into account.

Should’ve picked our own damned cotton.
