A gunman fatally shot five people in a Florida bank Wednesday afternoon before surrendering to police, authorities said.
Zephen Xaver, 21, allegedly opened fire inside a SunTrust branch in Sebring — about 90 miles southeast of Tampa — around 12:30 p.m., officials said in a somber evening news conference.
“Today’s been a tragic day in our community,” said Sebring police Chief Karl Hoglund. “We’ve suffered significant loss at the hands of a senseless criminal doing a senseless crime.”
It was not immediately clear whether the victims were customers, employees or included some of both.
Also unclear was what prompted Xaver to open fire inside the bank, kicking off a massive police response.

ReplyDelete6:38 I think the real dinger will be that it happened in FL where there are relaxed gun laws and that no one took his threats or messed up ideas seriously.
