Two people were killed and two injured in a shooting at a shopping plaza and restaurant in Florida late on Tuesday, Oct. 9.

The shooting was swiftly dubbed a “mass shooting,” as eyewitness reports of multiple gunshots began to surface. But local law enforcement later emphasized that the shooting at Bell Towers did not appear to be an act of random violence.
