ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — People are streaming out of an office building in downtown Orlando, Fla., where officials say a shooter is on the loose.
Orange County Sheriff's Spokesman Jim Solomons says his department is backing up Orlando police and they're still looking for an armed man wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans.
The Legions Place office building in downtown Orlando was ordered on lockdown Friday afternoon as officers began a floor-by-floor evacuation.
Orlando Police Sgt. Barbara Jones confirms there has been a shooting but can't say how many people are hurt.
The Orlando Fire Department tells WESH-TV that at least eight people are injured. Interstate 4 is closed in both directions through downtown and a nearby school is locked down.
