ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A man charged with killing a worker and wounding five others in the Orlando engineering firm where he once worked has been denied bond.

A judge Saturday ordered 40-year-old Jason Rodriguez held without bail at the Orange County Jail in Orlando.

His defense attorney, Bob Wesley, asked the judge that police and prosecutors have no contact with Rodriguez without his permission.

Police said Rodriguez told detectives he blamed the firm for recent trouble he had receiving unemployment benefits.

The man killed in the Friday shooting was identified by police as 26-year-old Otis Beckford. The five wounded people were in stable condition at Orlando hospitals and police say all are expected to survive.
