CAPE CORAL, Fla. (AP) — Police in southwest Florida have identified the man officers fatally shot following a rampage that left two other people dead and three others injured.

Cape Coral police said in a news release that they're still trying to figure out what led 31-year-old Christopher Michael Moran to fatally shoot a motorcyclist along a roadway near Fort Myers before gunning down someone in a convenience store Sunday night. Another person was wounded in the convenience store shooting.

Officers stopped Moran's vehicle shortly after the shootings. Police said that when Moran "violently" resisted arrest, several officers shot him. Two passengers in the vehicle were also injured.

Moran was white. The race of the victims and the police officers has not been released.
