Berry said he saw a white flash and immediately hit the ground. A bullet grazed the top of his head. Doctors at Orlando Regional Medical Center said if the rate had been lower, Berry likely would have had more serious health problems.

More security measures for downtown Orlando?

This is at least the second mass shooting in downtown Orlando since 2022, where seven people were shot. In 2016, a gunman killed 49 people and injured 53 others at Pulse nightclub.

Following the 2022 shootings, security checkpoints were added near entrances to the downtown entertainment district. After the apparent passage of a law affirming a constitutional right to concealed carry, those checkpoints had to be removed, Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith told reporters.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer declared a local state of emergency Friday, establishing a curfew between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. and ordering bars, clubs and restaurants to stop serving at 1 a.m. in the morning. These measures will be in effect for at least one week.

“I’m frustrated,” Mayor Dyer said.
