[18]
knowingly and intentionally took the
[21]
lives of five of our fellow community
[23]
members our sisters our mothers our
[28]
daughters and our co-workers perhaps
[33]
most unfortunate is that now we refer to
[36]
them as victims of the senseless crime
[40]
you see him getting visibly choked up
[43]
the police chief saying they don't have
[45]
a motive they're still trying to make
[46]
sense of a senseless crime as for the
[49]
names of those who died three families
[50]
ask their loved ones names not be
[52]
released citing the new Marsy's law
[54]
chief only making public to victim's
[56]
name as a customer and an employee the
[59]
over three people who were not named
[60]
were all bank employees all five who
[62]
died were women the investigations
[64]
ongoing and the bank building remains an
[66]
active crime scene Sebring is located in
[69]
Highlands County about two hours south
[70]
of Orlando police just wrapped up a news
[72]
conference about a half an hour ago
[74]
giving more insight into the
[76]
investigation is for Jax reporter Erica
[78]
Van Horn's is live in Erica interesting
[80]
to note the police chief did become
[81]
emotional at times when recounting what
[83]
happened
[85]
yes he did Bruce and you know I have to
[88]
say that in that room I he wasn't the
[91]
only one I've been a television
[93]
journalist for more than 20 years and
[95]
this is probably the first news
[96]
conference that I can recall
[99]
being in where I saw not just the police
[101]
chief but other members of law
[102]
enforcement other members that work for
[105]
the city that were also in that room
[106]
even members of news media looking
[109]
choked up and ready to shed tear so it
[112]
was a very emotional news conference now
[114]
given that we did learn new information
[117]
now knowing that I'm gonna step out of
[118]
the way cuz this is the bank that we're
[120]
talking about knowing five people were
[121]
killed inside this Bank was bad enough
[123]
we're now learning the details of how
[125]
they were killed and Bruce this is very
[127]
sad
[128]
police say zeppelins aber shot all five
[131]
victims in the back of the head
[133]
the victims all women forward bank
[135]
employees and one was a customer
[137]
according to police all five women were
[140]
located facedown in the main lobby
[143]
police also say Xavier was not only
[145]
armed with a gun but he was also wearing
[147]
a bulletproof vest this morning he was
[149]
in court where a judge told him he was
[152]
facing five counts of capital murder
[153]
each count automatically qualifies him
[156]
for the death penalty
[157]
yesterday afternoon police say he
[159]
entered the bank and shot everyone
[161]
inside then they say he called 911 and
[163]
told dispatchers what he did when police
[166]
arrived he barricaded himself until SWAT
[168]
team made entry and took him into
[170]
custody of course the one thing that is
[173]
the biggest question we're all trying to
[175]
figure out and all of this is why so far
[178]
police have not been able to come up
[180]
with a motive behind this and right now
[181]
it's unclear if he's even cooperating
[184]
with investigators like I said earlier
[186]
this morning he was in court we do know
[188]
that he will be represented by a public
[190]
defender of course we're gonna stay on
