ORLANDO, Fla.—Two people were killed and six others were wounded in two shootings by a single gunman that took place among thousands of costumed revelers during a Halloween street celebration in downtown Orlando early Friday, authorities said.
Officers responded to a report of shots fired in the city’s downtown bar and restaurant district shortly after 1 a.m. as costumed celebrants fled on foot. A second shooting minutes later happened within a short distance of officers and they quickly made an arrest, the city’s police Chief Eric Smith said during a briefing Friday morning.
