Teen shooting suspect charged in Orlando Halloween horror that left 2 dead, 6 wounded was ‘ticking time bomb'
2024-11-06
[NY Post] He was an acknowledged feral POS that should've been culled at an early stage
The Florida teen charged in the mass shooting at Orlando’s Halloween celebration, which left two people dead and six wounded, was a "ticking time bomb" with a history of behavior problems, people who knew him said.

Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, 17, was charged as an adult Monday with two counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder.

The teen’s mother showed up in court this weekend — instead of him — to answer the initial juvenile charges.

Edgar bounced around at different districts during his elementary and middle school years, said Veronica Gutierrez, who has known the teen since he was young.

"He was always getting in trouble," says Gutierrez. "He had a temper and was just not someone who could be controlled. I don’t know where he ended up going to high school, because I think maybe a lot of options were closed to him because he’s had so many problems."

Another friend said it was only a matter of time before Edgar got in bigger trouble.

"I am surprised that it happened, but I guess I’m not like totally shocked," says Louis Acevedo, who lived near Edgar. "He was angry, always ready for a fight. He was a ticking time bomb, I’d say."
