The gunman accused of shooting a bystander Friday told deputies he offered the victim a cup of water and $400, but did not call 911 or try and stop the bleeding.
Jakell Ward, 21, was later arrested and now faces two counts of attempted murder.
The man Ward allegedly shot, Brian Mortensen, was installing a fence in Ward's complex, Magnolia Court Condominiums, Orange County deputies wrote in a report.
Mortensen's lung collapsed, and a bullet ended up lodged near his heart, records show. He was taken to Florida Hospital in what deputies called "grave condition" on Friday.
The incident unfolded when Ward and his pregnant girlfriend may have been arguing about Ward's marijuana use, deputies said.
His girlfriend told deputies she could tell Ward was getting angry, and knew he had a .45 Hi-Point pistol in their apartment.
So when Ward allegedly threatened to kill her, she left the apartment and went to her car in the parking lot, deputies said.
Ward allegedly followed her out of the apartment with his pistol, deputies said.
His girlfriend said she got into her car and saw Ward fire the pistol toward her "multiple times," deputies said.
One of the bullets went through the car and hit Mortensen's chest, deputies said.

Because whites never do stupid, evil things, right? This article wasn't about race. Why did you feel the need to inject race into it?
How do you think the black conservatives who read this site feel when they see this? Do you think they feel welcomed here?

” People who didnt do anything wrong dont run back into the apartment to hide their pistol.”
I’m not even a “Secret Agent Man” and I had the same thought! :o) Guilty as charged...

I think that black MEN are as appalled by these acts as the rest of us.

very hard 21. Prison will probably be good for his health.

I can probably even tell you what neighborhood this happened in in Orlando without even finishing the article.

Friend rented a car. The girl there told her ‘Drive it like it’s stolen’.
She didn’t. She took good care of it.
I think he was driven like he was stolen. No doubt by himself, a lot.

On what scale are you referring to? This is one event by one person. Do you then support that Free Republic and the conservative movement adopt the position thet blacks have a super proclivity to sin more than the white race, and we should treat all blacks through that lens? That sir, is racist, and will not be inviting to other blacks who are seeking entrance into the conservative tent.
We can either be welcoming to blacks or we can be an obstacle feeding into the leftist narrative that we conservatives are racist.
We should rise above the fray and not engage in rhetoric that makes us sound like the liberals by attacking entire people groups, outside of the context of a single event.

So your position is the black race is inferior to the white race?

I grew up in the inner city, and can attest that yes, white do rob, rape, and murder. Prisons are full of them. Blacks do no have a monopoly on sin.
But this article was not about addressing a societal issue. It was ONE man who committed a crime, and then a Freeper made it a racial issue by painting the entire black race by the deeds of ONE PERSON.
And that sir, is racist and bolsters the democrat narrative that conservatives are unwelcoming to blacks. That is further detrimental to what the conservative movement is trying to put forward.

Then God said, Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
If we posit that God created blacks, they are not inferior in any way. It's a sin issue. Deal with it.
