Well I appreciate it. Humor is sometimes the only way to deal with this madness.

I am on 2 and 13...this is NOT a TROP situation. He is a really pissed off disturbed out of work former employee who couldn’t get a new job for a year and he decided to go nuts today.

I think personally we are going to see a lot of this kind of crap happening more and more as people become desperate in this economy and job market. More drugs, more robberies, more violence.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Awaiting comment from the FBI’s “It’s not terrorism office”.

The It’s Not Terrorism Task Force (INTTF) is heading to the scene now.

bump!

[SE Mom]

It’s a good sized office building- right near Lake Ivanhoe.

Our police scanner is getting quieter- they’ve switched to a different channel..

Channel nine reporting I-4 now shut down in both directions and shots still coming from building - live reporting, take it for what’s it’s worth

Trying to call my 2 daughters. Both live in Orlando.

Disgruntled employee? Local TV reports are saying that bodies have been found on both the 8th and 10th floors.

That would be someone who worked on both the 8th and 10th floors, but not the 9th? OK, maybe a former janitor or something.

The building, btw, is a prominent tall building sitting right next to the major interstate highway.

Maybe we need to have national take your gun to work day tomorrow to keep the peace!

But, but, I can't! My office is across the street from a high school! It's a gun free zone!

[SoldierDad]

I have the gun - CCW’s are almost impossible to obtain where I live. Doubled barreled side-by-side 12 gage for home protection too.

[DocRock]

Channel nine reporting first name of shooter was “Javier” (sp?) from eye witness. Former employee

[DouglasKC]

Just heard on channel 9 that it was a light skinned Hispanic man

Hmmmm....or Arabic?

[READINABLUESTATE]

Let’s not jump to conclusions: Just because these people have bullets in them doesn’t mean they were shot.

Snort! Perhaps they were acting stupidly.

[TomGuy]

Light blue polo and jeans?

They don’t know skin or hair color, or height?

May be hispanic. May be wearing blue shorts, rather than jeans, or blue shorts of jean material.

8 confirmed shot...4 other victims as well they are trying to confirm. Armored vehicles moving into downtown like a scene from Red Dawn.
