People in Florida have been shooting at random people in public spaces since the 1970s (see Dadeland Mall shootout in 1979), so this recent event in Orlando is nothing new (for Florida, at least).

I prefer this article about the incident, because it has pictures of the alleged perp...Angila Baxter:

How does a mentally deranged person like this get a gun? If anyone knows, please share.

And to answer the OP's query...mentally deranged people are in every state, & some have committed horrible atrocities through the years. To ask if this is a new thing unique only to Florida, makes me suspicious of your motives in posting this.

As of 2020, Florida ranked 22nd in firearm mortality, with 1 being the fewest (Hawaii), & Mississippi being the worst ar #50.

Do you think this is a thing now in Florida? If so, why?

People tend to sensationalize almost anything, but statistics show that Florida ranks somewhere in the middle of many conjured up categories, including insurance costs and property taxes.

Some posts mentioning Florida, seem to me to be cloaked attacks on our great state.

Insinuating the alleged criminal act/s of 1 deranged person, is somehow a new fad, or trend in any given state, & posing it as a question, sends up my hidden motive alert system.

Ah sweet summer child, let me introduce you to my neighbor, currently serving two years on house arrest (I assume he gave useful info to the FBI and ATF) for selling guns with the serial numbers filed off across state lines to people who have not had a background check, apparently over the internet.

Being a cowboy 2A extremist also cost him one of those 100K for life DoD jobs because that pesky felony conviction got his security clearance yanked.

I wouldn't call what happened in Liberty City "random" though.
What happened there was expected.
