Sources close to the investigation of today's shooting at the WWE Performance Center have identified the suspect, who was shot by a Detective this afternoon, as 29 year-old Armando Alejandro Montalvo.
WWE took an injunction out recently against someone of the same name in an attempt to keep him from trespassing on the WWE Performance Center property in Florida. There had been multiple incidents of Montalvo showing up demanding a job, threatening talent and even throwing feces on the Performance Center building.
PWInsider.com research indicates Montalvo was arrested for trespassing after being warned to leave WWE property on 8/4 and in recent years had been arrested for battery on a person 65 years or older, violating a domestic injunction, fraud, and assault on a law enforcement officer.
During a Sheriff's media conference earlier, Montalvo was described as being "fixated" on a female WWE performer and as having trespassed on the WWE property several times over the last month.
While the dangers of performing in professional wrestling are nothing like they were in the territory era where one of the main goals was trying to make the audience believe everything was legitimately real, there are still incidents with dangerous fans. Just this past Tuesday, a fan hopped the railing to try and get to Dean Ambrose at a Smackdown taping in Providence, Rhode Island, but was tackled down by security.
As irony has it, Taz just released a podcast on this topic earlier this morning:
