But it’s becoming tougher and tougher to gauge the progress of some of the young Seminoles because of the myriad problems.

A newly released report on Orlando’s deadly Halloween mass shooting indicates that one of the two victims was shot during a confrontation between the alleged shooter and a witness, rather than being targeted during the incident. The Thursday release of the arrest affidavit for accused gunman Jaylen Edgar offered little indication of what led up to the mayhem that wounded seven people in addition to killing two. But it tells a chilling tale of how the carnage unfolded. Moments after shooting 25-year-old Tyrek Hill — a tow truck driver who was his first victim — in the face around 1 a.m. Friday,...
