Police in Orlando say they have surrounded a Florida high-rise office building after gun shots were fired. The Legions Place building in downtown Orlando was ordered on lockdown this afternoon as officers began a floor-by-floor evacuation.

Orlando Police Sgt. Barbara Jones confirmed there has been shooting but could not say how many people, if any, were hurt. Orlando Fire Department spokeswoman Vicky Robles told a local TV station that a shooter has not been taken into custody.
