ORLANDO, FL -- Jason Rodriguez, 40, surrendered to police about three hours later, after officers saw him through the window of his mother's home and asked him to come outside, Orlando Police Chief Val Demings said.
She said investigators did not know why Rodriguez targeted the engineering firm where he once worked.
"This is a tragedy no doubt about it, especially on the heels of the tragedy in Fort Hood that is on our minds," she said. "I'm just glad we don't have any more fatalities or any more injuries than we currently have."
People streamed out of the 16-story Legion Place office building around lunchtime and some told local television stations they had barricaded themselves inside their offices while the gunman was on the loose.
Will Halpern, an attorney on the building's 17th floor, was among the last group to be evacuated. He said the lobby was filled with about 20 officers in SWAT gear, carrying assault weapons, ready to search.
I'm guessing this is one of those buildings that skips the 13th floor, otherwise I can't see how anyone works on the 17th floor unless they work on the roof.
Officials: Fort Hood shootings suspect alive; 12 dead (T: The final amount was 13 dead, this story is from before that amount was released)
(CNN) -- A soldier suspected of fatally shooting 12 and wounding 31 at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday is not dead as previously reported by the military, the base's commander said Thursday evening.
A civilian officer who was wounded in the incident shot the suspect, who is "in custody and in stable condition," Army Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told reporters.
"Preliminary reports indicate there was a single shooter that was shot multiple times at the scene," Cone said at a news conference. "However, he was not killed as previously reported."
Their eyes have that same blank stare. (pics in linked articles)

According to Wiki, Fort Hood shooting left 13 dead and 30 injured.
The story I posted was from before that number came about. Interesting "final" numbers though. It's impossible to get the truth about these situations, obviously.
