Orlando residents experienced a mass shooting on Halloween night, and a suspect has been arrested by police.
Halloween was supposed to be a fun night for Orlando residents, but it ended in tragedy. A gunman opened fire and shot multiple victims in downtown Orlando during the early morning hours of November 1, 2024. Now, police have a suspect in custody.
This isn’t the first time the city — which is home to some of the nation’s most popular tourist attractions — has experienced a mass shooting. In June 2016, 49 people were fatally shot at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. Following a three-hour standoff, police shot and killed the shooter.
