According to the Orlando Sentinel, a woman whose sister worked at the business where the shooting took place said her sister had heard shots while she was in the bathroom. “She came out and saw a man on the floor,” the woman said.

A nearby road to the crime scene had been shut down, the paper said.

Orange County Sheriff’s Office tweeted that it would make a statement soon and brief the media on what has happened.

A year ago, the city - a hub of Florida’s resort industry popular with tourists - was the scene of a mass shooting in a gay nightclub that left 49 people dead and dozens more wounded.
