Shooting

The shooter, Jesse James Warren, a former employee, walked into the Penske truck rental business Tuesday afternoon wearing camouflage. He opened fire, shooting five. Four victims were employees, another was a customer. One victim, Van Springer, died at the scene. The other four victims were transported in critical condition to a local hospital. A customer (Jaider Marulanda) died at the hospital, while Roberto Gonzalez, an employee, died the next day, which brought the death toll to three. Joshua Holbrook and Zach Werner were shot multiple times, but survived. Zach later died from complications.[3][4] Warren was arrested less than a mile away after he left in a red Chevrolet S-10 truck.[5]

Warren was declared incompetent to stand trial, and was indefinitely committed to a mental institution in 2017.[6]
