An 88-year-old patient named Cynthia Zingsheim and a 36-year-old hospital employee named Carrie Rouzer were fatally shot at Parrish Medical Center, a hospital in Titusville, Florida, early Sunday morning. Titusville is east of Orlando and adjacent to the Kennedy Space Center.
The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old David Owens, who was restrained by unarmed hospital security and arrested. "I cannot stress enough, the response of the Parrish Medical Center staff, without a doubt, saved more lives," said Titusville police Chief John Lau.
