Emergency workers transport a victim from a shooting in downtown Orlando on Friday, Nov. 6, 2009, in Orlando, Fla. Police are searching for a gunman who injured at least eight people at a downtown Orlando, Fla., office building. Orange County Sheriff's Spokesman Jim Solomons says his department is backing up Orlando police and they're still looking for an armed man wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans.

(AP) - The engineer accused of fatally shooting one employee and wounding five others at the firm where he once worked is "very mentally ill" and crumbled under the stress of his divorce, bankruptcy and unemployment, his attorney said Saturday.

Jason Rodriguez, 40, was ordered held without bail at the Orange County Jail, where he is under suicide watch after Friday's shooting. His mother also apologized Saturday, telling reporters she is "so sorry for everything that has happened."

"Sorry for the families involved. I'm really very sorry, it is very hurtful," she said.
