Multiple fatalities reported in Orlando shootings


There have been "multiple fatalities" in a shooting at an Orlando industrial estate, according to the police.

Reports from Orlando Sentinel newspaper claims that the shooting, which happened early Monday morning, comes a week before the first anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in the city, in which 49 people died.

Police said the scene of the scene had been "stabilised", indicating the shooting was not ongoing.

The Orange County sheriff is expected to give a briefing soon.

Reports in Florida said the deaths occurred at a business making camping awnings, and that the FBI was now on the scene.

In a statement on Monday, Florida Governor Rick Scott condemned a "senseless act of violence".
"Over the past year, the Orlando community has been challenged like never before," he said.
