On May 18, 2018 officers responded to the Trump National Doral Miami Hotel regarding an active shooter in the lobby. The shooter, Jonathan Oddi, entered the main lobby carrying an American flag and a firearm. Prior to police arrival, Oddi fired shots toward the lounge, ceiling and chandelier of the hotel lobby.
Oddi then draped the American flag over the front desk and, while still armed, proceeded to break computers and other electronics. At one point, Oddi pointed his gun in the direction of the arriving officers, then placed his hand down as he stood behind the desk. As the officers were approaching, Oddi raised one and then, briefly, both hands.
As the officers were nearing with weapons drawn, Oddi ducked behind the counter, re-armed himself and pointed his gun in the immediate direction of the officers. Immediately, an officer discharged his firearm and Oddi returned gunfire. An exchange of gunfire ensued between the responding officers and Oddi.
As Oddi was attempting to flee, he also fired at Sergeant Luis Celis, who was standing near the side entry to the lobby. While fleeing, Oddi dropped his firearm and shortly thereafter was apprehended while hiding near the 3rd floor elevator with gunshot injuries to his legs.
During an interview with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Oddi, a 42 year old former stripper and porn actor, stated that he had planned his actions and wanted to direct attention to several political issues. He stated he dressed in black clothing and painted his face black so he would not be seen. He stated he conducted surveillance on the property for about two hours. He stated that he knew when the officer arrived there was going to be a shootout and he was expecting to get shot. He stated that he was going to surrender, but when the officers arrived, they were pointing guns at him, so he pointed his gun at the officers.
While at the hospital, Oddi yelled many spontaneous statements. He asked to speak with the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, and the media. He stated that there will be no president in two days, and that he is an intelligence officer. He spoke of nuclear weapons and stated that police will cease to exist.
Oddi also made the following erratic comments: “Trump is a traitor,†“Obama is Osama,†“Trump makes his money on gas,†“kill all the police in the street, useless good for nothing, nada, all of you,†“laws are corrupt,†and “Police, death has come to you, you be judged, die for now and for hell and for all of eternity, people in the streets are going to shoot you, get heart attacks, you are all dead, I’m going to let them know to put a bullet in your head.â€
Oddi also told officers that he had a “settlement” with Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and the rap artist known as P. Diddy.

That guy was a porn star? Eeewwwh😕
Also: Trump's cheap ass needs to spring for some better quality security cameras.
As a stripper, I am sure – deep in his mind – he was loving the all male attention he was getting here 😂

STDs are no joke!!!!!
He got ghonnorhea of the brain!
The cops should have checked under all those dining tables, the table cloths went to the floor, a good place for the crazy git to hide.
1:24 Officer Dunkin To the rescue
Only in Miami!
Go police! that badguy going down.

Hero officers running in not backing up!! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ðŸ™ŒðŸ¼ðŸ™ŒðŸ¼ðŸ™ŒðŸ¼ðŸ™ŒðŸ¼ðŸ™ŒðŸ¼ðŸ™ŒðŸ¼

Who else heard Yakety Sax in their heads during the first half of the video?
Si van a Comentar este año porfavor aganlo en ESPAÑOL ok
That Sgt. Deserves a medal. He ran in by himself while being fired upon and single handily arrested the suspect. He is a hero in my book!
Is that Metro State walking the body out
The bad guy certainly wasn't graceful. Laughed my ass off at one of the comments here saying he ran like the Hamburglar… that's the perfect analogy, haha. Thank God for police who without question run into a building with an active shooter, while everyone else (wants to) runs out! Scary shit. As I watched this, I kept hoping they would check under all those floor-length table cloths in the ballrooms they cleared. Who knows, maybe another officer did, but if not it's a good thing Oddi wasn't under one of those tables.
I live I Miami so knowing this was I my area was interesting
This country was founded on split ideas a war happened amongst itself from different views…
Another 1 is coming and this 1 is being pushed by the powerful who RUN shit… idk fully,the agenda behind this war they WILL create but its coming soon to a neighborhood near YOU!!!!!!!
Damn the one cop
That took him down by himself is a badass
Is find a suspect hide and seek game.
Only thing missing is the Benny Hill theme music.
Rainbow 6 Vegas 3
This looks like and episode of Tom and Jerry!
Watching these officers look for suspects and not watching their corners is dangerous. Come on you guys a rookie could get yall. I challenge you guys. In a shoot house style. Me vs ur best. I'll be bad guy abd yall be good guys. Of course will use fake weapons or airsoft or whatever but this will help yall down range later on. I'll teach yall.
He was angry about the bed bugs.
bed bugs won
0:58 is a perfect example of why someone having their hands up does not mean they are no longer a threat.
