Two people were killed, including a 9-year-old child and a journalist, and two others were injured in a shooting near Orlando, Florida.
According to Orange County Sheriff John Mina, the gunman shot two Spectrum News 13 reporters as they were covering a homicide scene where a 20-year-old woman was shot and killed that morning. The suspect then entered a nearby home, where he shot a woman and her 9-year-old daughter. Mina said the suspect, identified as Keith Melvin Moses, 19, was responsible for both the morning homicide and the later shootings.
The 9-year-old and one of the reporters were pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital. The other two victims are in critical condition.

Mina said it was “unclear exactly why they were targeted” and why he entered the home. Moses was arrested in the area shortly after the shootings.
Moses had an extensive criminal history, including gun charges, aggravated battery and assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, and grand theft charges.

Mina said it was unclear whether Moses knew the two reporters targeted were journalists. He added that the reporters’ vehicle was not obviously a news vehicle and did not possess news decals.
