In downtown Orlando, a 17-year-old opened fire at two Halloween celebration spots, killing two and injuring six, prompting police to quickly arrest him on charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Victims ranged from 19 to 39, with two initially in critical condition now stable.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer declared a state of emergency, setting a midnight alcohol cutoff and a curfew from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m, CNN has reported.

This incident marks Florida’s 27th mass shooting this year, underscoring a troubling trend of gun violence across public spaces.
