One dead in Florida office attack | |
(20 minutes later) | |
At least one person has been killed and seven others injured in a shooting at an office building in Orlando, US officials say. | |
The attacker is still thought to be on the loose, a Florida fire department spokeswoman said. | |
The attack took place on the fourth floor of the Gateway Center building at around 1130 local time (1630 GMT). | |
Officers are conducting a floor-by-floor evacuation of the office block, the Associated Press says. | |
People are streaming out of the building although some say they have barricaded themselves inside their offices, AP reports. | |
The shooter is reported to be a man wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans. | |
Local television broadcasts showed a police helicopter hovering over the scene, as dozens of police cars blocked off streets in the surrounding area. | |
US TV network ABC News says FBI agents have also been despatched to the area. | |
