Factory shooting leaves 2 teens without mother or father
ORLANDO, Fla. — A devoted father always photographing the games of his teenagers, now orphaned by a workplace shooting. A loving husband who “would give the shirt off his back” for anyone in need. A grandfather “taken way too soon.”
Friends and family members grieved Tuesday over the losses of loved ones in the shooting of five workers at an awning maker outside Orlando, where a recently fired co-worker returned through a rear door and opened fire.
One of the victims, Kevin Clark, was “generous, giving, polite and he was an extremely upstanding person,” said his friend, Allan Saltman, who befriended Clark while taking pictures of youth league sports. “He was a warm and compassionate person.”
Authorities said John Robert Neumann Jr., 45, methodically shot his victims and then killed himself at the sound of an approaching siren on Monday.
