Latest reports said one person was killed and five were injured at the Gateway Centre in central Orlando.

Workers were said to have barricaded themselves behind doors while others streamed out of the block as SWAT teams entered to track down the killer.

A police helicopter hovered over the scene as dozens of police cars sealed off the area surrounding the 16-storey complex in central Orlando.

Several people were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Centre.

The suspect was named as Jason Rodriguez, a 40-year-old former employee of Reynolds, Smith & Hills, a company based at the centre.

A spokesman for the firm confirmed that Rodriguez had been an employee based at the Gateway Centre. He was sacked two years ago because of performance-related issues.

The shootings come less than 24 hours after a massacre at a military base in Texas left 13 dead.

its a sick world

crazy world, why cant they take their frustrations out in a sensible way, boxing, martial arts or just plain exercise?

I normally take my gun to the shooting range and take out a few targets to ease some stress.

when you can walk in off the street with little or no i.d or back round check this is the sort of thing that happens, a mad society that lets this continually happen my condolences to the dead

When I purchased my handguns, I went into the gun store, had to show my state issued identification, and fill out the required federal paperwork (which the clerk is not allowed to help me with), and wait for them to run my background check.

I have purchased a few guns at gun shows, sometimes they fill out the complete paperwork (if the have a business) but if it's an individual owner, the paperwork is not required.

rtm this is not good
