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

All patients have been taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center. At least four of the eight patients are serious trauma cases.

Guess the admin can't figure out it is CNN TV

But to answer, no only reporting shot.

OMG, I told my husband yesterday, that we would see other copy cat killings in a few days. Praying for the people harmed and those who are unaware of the wearabouts of their loved ones.

I am holding off my judgment until we get a name, then I will make a supposition accordingly.

But if i were to make a bet, it would be on someone with SJS.

Jason is a member of Congress, claiming to vote in today what Pelousy admits won't happen before Sunday?

Is Jason trying to suggest these victims' medical will be or would've been affected, depending upon on the a new deathcare being voted in? Otherwise, why mix these stories, other than to keep 0bambi's agenda and propaganda before our eyes at all times, as a fait acompli?

Gateway center on “Legacy” I suppose it means road or drive. It is an office building

Listening to the Orlando Sheriff on the Scanner app on my iPhone right now...

Suspect is described as a Hispanic Male.

My sympathy goes out to the families.

However, here goes the “gun crisis” set up scenario and Pelosi and the cronies will push HARSH gun laws! You’ll see...

I read on one of the comment on the Orlando site that this particular building houses the VA offices.

From CNN - “WESH 2 reporter Gail Paschall-Brown, who is at the scene on the ground, said that 15 employees came out of the building very distraught. Paschall-Brown spoke with one who said that a former employee came into the office who hadn’t worked at the company in over a year.”

Attention all units, the shooter was not wearing a hat. Repeat. The shooter was hat-less.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Obama must be loving this-anything to take attention of his bankrupting,socialist health care agenda.

Yes, that is true.. and I am sure he does love this and yesterday’s distraction. His comments on yesterday’s events did not even seem heart-felt. We knew just how GWB felt when shootings and events happened. I sure do miss him!

I love the PC description... "a suspect wearing blue shirt and blue jeans"... well that narrows it down. Black, Brown, white, green, wearing high heels, antenna out of his skull...

WTF?

Their mantra is to never let a good crisis go to waste - they will make more attempts to disarm the citizenry.
