Multiple fatalities in mass shooting in Orlando a week ahead of Pulse terror anniversary

Last edited Mon Jun 5, 2017, 10:57 AM - Edit history (1)

There are reports that up to five people have been killed at a business in Orlando.

Police have been called to the business headquarters of the company in Florida after receiving reports of a ‘multiple fatality’ incident.

The incident took place on Forsyth Road with road closures being put in place around the scene.

Helicopter footage from local news reports appears to show that the incident happened at or near to a bakery in the city.

Captain Angelo Nieves said that no other details were currently available and that the situation had been contained, but there are said to be multiple casualties.

The shooting happened a week ahead of the anniversary of the June 12 Pulse nightclub shooting when 49 people were murdered. Wonder if the proposed travel ban would have prevented these acts of domestic terrorism? On the other hand, Trump and his cabal of criminals don't recognize mass murders committed by good old boys who bought their guns with no background checks.

ETA:

Six people have been killed by a disgruntled worker in a workplace shooting in Orlando, Florida.

The gunman is among the dead, police officials have now confirmed, after they were called to a ‘multiple fatality’ incident in an industrial area.

One shy of the London event, but since it's domestic terrorism who cares...?
