A 17-year-old, Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, will be charged as an adult for a mass shooting in downtown Orlando during Halloween celebrations, which resulted in two deaths and six injuries. State Attorney Andrew Bain cited the egregious nature of the crime and Edgar's disregard for life as reasons for the decision. Edgar faces two counts of first-degree murder and six counts of attempted first-degree murder, with further charges pending a grand jury review.
