It's Not Terrorism, It's Rage!

Hatred and rage turn deadly.

A rampage left two people dead and three others critically wounded in the Florida Panhandle.

Residents in this Miramar Beach community are taking extra precautions after their neighbor allegedly went on a shooting rampage.

Investigators say the suspect, 60-year-old Dannie Baker, left his townhouse, armed with a rifle, walked across the complex to the victims' unit, and opened fire.

Neighbors say Baker wasn't happy with all the activity at the house and think that was the motive for his shooting spree.
Neighbor Crystal Lynn says "he did come up to me one time and asked me if I was ready for the revolution to begin and if I had any immigrant in my house to get them out."

The victims were foreign nationals who appear to have been working in the U.S. legally.

Investigators say, at the time of the shooting, there were at least 14 other people in the one unit with the victims...all of Hispanic descent.
An update identifies the victims:
