Carrie Rouzer, 36, was killed in a shooting at Parrish Medical Center in Titusville, Florida, on July 17, 2016. She was an employee at the hospital and was fatally shot alongside an 88-year-old patient, Cynthia Zingsheim, when a 29-year-old man, David Owens, entered through the emergency room and opened fire on the third floor in Zingsheim’s room. Authorities described the attack as extremely random and said there was no known connection between Owens and his victims.

Unarmed hospital security tackled and restrained Owens until law enforcement arrived; the handgun used was left at the scene. Owens was charged with two counts of murder and had a history of mental health issues, including a 2012 court-ordered mental health evaluation, and prior arrests for battery on a police officer, drug possession and domestic battery (some charges were later dismissed). He was at one point ruled mentally incompetent and sent to a secure state mental health facility, and later was found competent and scheduled for trial.

Does anyone have information about Carrie’s life at the hospital or was in Titusville at the time who can help clarify events that morning?
