Orlando Shooting: 6 People Dead After 'Disgruntled' Ex-Employee Opens Fire, Police Say

Darpan News Desk IANS, 05 Jun, 2017 09:38 AM
    Six persons, including a woman, were killed at a workplace in the US city of Orlando when a disgruntled former employee went on a shooting spree before killing himself.
     
    The incident happened at Fiamma, a business on North Forsyth Road near Hanging Moss Road, near Orlando, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) said, calling it a “tragic incident”.
     
    Four died at the scene of business. One victim succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
     
    The 45-year-old shooter — a former “disgruntled employee” who was fired in April — then killed himself, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said.
     
    “OCSO working shooting scene that has stabilised.
     
    “Multiple fatalities. Situation contained,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet.
     
    Seven persons were rescued.
     
    The shooting took place almost a year after 49 people were killed on June 12, 2016, at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history. At least 58 people were also injured.
     
    “Over the past year, the Orlando community has been challenged like never before,” Florida Governor Rick Scott said in a statement. “I ask all Floridians to pray for the families impacted by this senseless act of violence.”
