Two people were killed and several people were injured early Friday when a gunman opened fire during a street celebration with thousands of revelers celebrating Halloween in Orlando.
Officers quickly arrested a 17-year-old male suspect, police Chief Eric Smith said during a briefing. Authorities have not yet determined a motive.
The shooter fired in Orlando’s downtown bar and restaurant district around 1 a.m. Officers responded as costumed celebrants ran, and the same gunman then fired again about a block away, Smith said.
Here’s what we know about the victims:
In all, nine people were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center. The two men who died were 25 and 19 years old. Their names have not been released.

One of the Halloween celebrants killed and another who was injured were students at the University of Central Florida, the school said in a statement on Friday.
The shootings “may have impacted many students who were out celebrating Halloween and in the vicinity of the incident,” the university said. “Our thoughts are with all the loved ones affected during this unimaginable time.”
