"former employee came into the office who hadn't worked at the company in over a year."

Sounds like a disgruntled postman situation.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- At least eight people were shot inside a downtown Orlando high-rise Friday morning, according to WESH.

Firefighters were called to Gateway Center at 1000 Legion Place around 11:30 a.m. The building is near Lake Ivanhoe.

The Orlando station is reporting that all patients have been taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center. At least four of the eight patients are serious trauma cases.

Dispatchers with the Orlando Fire Department said a shooting with multiple victims was reported on the fourth floor.

At least six ambulances and dozens of police cars and fire engines have arrived at the scene.

Orlando Fire Department spokeswoman Vicky Robles said a shooter has not been taken into custody.

"We don't know who they are," Robles said.

WESH 2 News reporter Greg Fox said gurneys are being wheeled toward the building. However, some rescue personnel may be waiting for clearance from authorities that the scene has been secured.

Cameras in downtown Orlando showed authorities closing some streets around the center.

Gateway Center is a 16-story office building that was built in 1999.

Interstate 4 eastbound has been shut down while police converge on the area.

There was another one in Japan earlier today as well. These incidents are absolutely tragic and it really makes me wonder why there are those who want to give people even more guns.

WTF? Are we going to have shootings every DAY now?

WTF? Are we going to have shootings every DAY now?

You already do.

[Greed and Death]

WTF? Are we going to have shootings every DAY now?

Until Obama resigns yes.
and likely after he resigns as well.

Another one?

It is the US you know. More people are eligible to buy a gun than are eligible to vote. Then again, Florida was never exactly the land of opportunity and high-paying jobs, and their labour laws and workers' rights, where existent at all, suck.
