SEBRING, Fla. (WOWO): A man accused of fatally shooting 5 people inside a Florida bank is from northern Indiana.

21-year-old Zephen Xaver is originally from Marshall County, Indiana. WNDU reports the 21-year-old grew up in Plymouth, moved to Bremen during high school, and then moved to Sebring, Florida about a year ago.

The former prison guard trainee allegedly barricaded himself after calling police to tell them he had opened fire inside a SunTrust Bank. He eventually surrendered to a SWAT team.

The FBI is investigating. Xaver has been charged with five counts of premeditated murder.
