Amanda Tyndall, an employee of the Gainesville Comfort Suites, recalled a conversation on the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting with Mark Antonio Taylor II. She spoke only briefly to the cold, wandering man with a military ID she had let sleep on the hotel’s lobby couch with a promise to go before guests arrived. “I said how sad it was, and that it was just crazy to shoot someone for no apparent reason,” she said. “‘It is sad,’” was the only response she recalled from Taylor. Just hours later on Dec. 28, 2013, the 23-year-old Taylor would fire two shots from his Hi-Point .45-caliber pistol at Carriage Automotive employee Charles Weaver, killing him.
