ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A man accused of shooting one worker to death and wounding five others in an engineering office where he used to work has been indicted by a grand jury.
Jason Rodriguez, 40, was indicted Tuesday on one count of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted first-degree murder. He remains in the Orange County Jail without bond.
Rodriguez is charged with fatally shooting Otis Beckford, a 26-year-old draftsman and new father.
Authorities say Rodriguez told detectives that he blamed the engineering firm, Reynolds, Smith and Hills, for hindering his
efforts to secure unemployment benefits.
Company officials are perplexed at that explanation given, saying he had worked elsewhere since leaving the firm.
