This is the horrifying moment a 17-year-old opened fire on
a Halloween crowd in Orlando and killed two, before being
taken down by a hero cop.

Jaylen Dwayne Edgar was arrested after he killed two people
and injured six others in downtown Orlando early on Friday,
officials said.

Shocking footage released by police shows the suspect in a
yellow shirt calmly walking through the crowd of Halloween
revelers before he turns around and fires his gun. Crowds
flee in terror as the muzzle flash lights up the dark street.

The suspect is seen running with the crowd towards two
police cars, getting meshed with the innocent bystanders
that were fleeing in panic.

As he pulls out the gun again, a hero cop spots him and
quickly tackles him to the ground, disarming him before
other officers assist in the arrest.

. . .

Big bad gangsta boy ...

Alas, 17, he'll likely get a lot of legal slack.

On the flip, Florida is a law-n-order state so he
may not get as much slack as he believed. Almost
fer sure he'll be tried as an adult, esp with
two murders under his belt.

What is NOT clear is whether he was targeting
some specific rival(s) in the crowd - or just
thought it would be funny to gun down a bunch
of people at a Halloween street party.

Florida IS a "right to carry" state - but it
seems nobody shot back at him. The cop had to
run in and physically tackle the punk. Thanks
to the cop.

In 'blue' states the punk would sue the cops
for a 'racist' physical attack, and probably
win the case.
