7 injured in downtown Orlando shooting

Seven people were injured in a shooting in downtown Orlando, police say

https://www.wesh.com/article/orlando-police-investigating-downtown-shooting-on-wall-street/40762170

ps:  But he only had a hand gun and guess what?? He actually didn't kill anyone!!

Multi pick question: 1-He couldn't shoot straight; or 2-He didn't bring a weapon of mass destruction??

For me I'll go with #2, because even if he couldn't shoot straight, with a weapon of mass destruction he probably would've kill a few!!
