One rescued Tabby home!
(CNN) -- A gunman was at large after firefighters and police responded to a reported shooting Friday at a high-rise building in Orlando, Florida, authorities said.
Authorities received a report shortly before noon of a shooting on an upper floor of the high rise, said John Tormos of the Orlando Fire Department.
A spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office, which is helping the city police department, said investigators are looking for a man wearing a blue Polo shirt, gray vest and blue jeans.
"We're in a search mode for the gunman," said Jim Solomons, a spokesman for the sheriff's office.
CNN affiliate WESH reported that at least eight people were shot at the Gateway Center -- a 16-story building near Lake Ivanhoe and Interstate 4.
WESH reported that the interstate was closed in both directions near the office building.
Police cars and emergency vehicles surrounded the area, video showed. It also showed people fleeing.
This is so upsetting.

It was at an architecture/engineering firm, and they are saying the shooter was a disgruntled former employee who had been laid off at some point. Still looking for the shooter. Schools in the area are on lockdown, and they have closed part of I-4.

They have caught the shooter.

I will never understand why the object used by the criminal is blamed before the criminal.
If we banned or destroyed everything dangerous in the hands of a crazy person.... You would only be allowed pillows and bread. But then again, bread can make you fat...
For the 1,457,439th time.... You can be free or you can be safe (hows that gun control thing working out for ya UK?).
I pick free.

Don't forget the millions law abiding gun owners and guns that did NOT harm anyone today.Originally Posted by Edwina's Secretary
I am free. I am safe. I don't need guns to be either.
It is very clear how "the gun thing" is working out here in the United States. Fort Hood, Columbine, Orlando...and on and on and on...
Stop the madness.
Don't let people change the subject.
Ask WHY does anyone need a COP KILLER gun???
Why does ANYONE need bullets that pierce the body armor worn by the cops.
And WHY do groups like the NRA support these things???
Its not about NEED. Its about RIGHT. Does anybody "need" a high capacity magazine firearm? Maybe not. Is it worth the slippery slope that happens should we start banning certain guns because they are scary? No.
Love it, hate it.... Spin it with emotional BS all you want. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is about LIBERTY and the PEOPLES right to protect it for themselves. Read any history book about a fascist/communist/nazi/despotic country. Whats one of the first things that happens?
A armed person is a citizen. A disarmed person is a subject.
Yes, I get where you are coming from about the "cop killer" thing. But, why say melt down "A" gun? Why not "a semi-automatic handgun"?
Freudian slip?

Tell me....

Should we blame the guns or the coward (terrorist?) who used them?
How VERY different would this have been had the soldiers (citizens) been armed?

Abrupt and Abrasive.
More of the victims are alive because the Shooter used a "cop killer" gun.
Armour piercing rounds are not available to citizens and are highly controlled with LEOs and the military. The 5.7 round is not much more then a .22 Magnum IIRC.
Less people would have been shot if more people were carrying.

What IS a "cop killer", to you?
Again... An emotional responce, catered to people who already agree with you.
ES... Its surprising to see a person as smart as you to become so emotionally unglued.
When you are ready to talk facts.... Holler.
