GAINESVILLE — Senior pastor Arao Amazonas said he wanted to wait until the next morning to leave Florida after a religious conference. But pastor Jose Carmo Jr. wanted to be back in time for the suburban Atlanta church's Sunday morning service and led two vans up Interstate 75 toward Georgia.

Two people were shot and wounded about midnight Saturday at the South Florida Fair, leading to a lockdown at the fairgrounds that kept thousands of people from leaving for up to an hour, according to thePalm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Monday that conditions were clear enough to reopen Interstate 75 before a deadly pileup early Sunday, but Gov. Rick Scott is ordering an investigation.
