A witness to an office shooting in Orlando that left one man dead and five people injured says the whole ordeal lasted about a minute.

Mark Davidson, a vice president at the engineering firm Reynolds, Smith & Hills, said Monday that his co-workers stayed calm Friday and didn't scream as Jason Rodriguez entered a reception area of the eighth-floor office and began shooting randomly.

Rodriguez is a former employee of the firm. He has been charged with first-degree murder.

Orlando Police Chief Val Demings says more charges are expected.

An attorney for Rodriguez has portrayed the 40-year-old as a mentally ill man who fell victim to countless personal and financial problems.
