Five people were shot and killed by a “disgruntled” former employee at a workplace near Orlando, Florida, this morning, three years after the suspect was involved in another workplace violence incident there, according to authorities. Three men and one woman were killed when a 45-year-old disgruntled former employee entered an awning manufacturing plant in Orlando Florida Monday and opened fire before turning the gun on himself, according to Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings. Hospitals in the area did not immediately respond to requests for comment about whether they had taken in any of the victims from the shooting. Seven people survived inside Fiamma Inc., which makes accessories for recreational vehicles, Demings said. Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said the shooter, identified by police as a 45-year-old former "disgruntled employee" who was terminated in April, opened fire on former co-workers at Fiamma Inc., which manufacturers accessories for recreational vehicles in an industrial area more than seven miles from downtown Orlando. There’s no indication that the suspect was a member of any terror organization, Demings said, adding that this was “likely a workplace violence incident.”

Shelley Adams told ABC News that her sister told her she was inside her place of business this morning when she walked out of the bathroom and saw someone lying on the floor. Adams said her sister recounted the story on the phone and “was just hysterically crying.”

Her sister was OK, Adams said but “she kept saying, ‘My boss is dead. The FBI dispatched members of the bureau's Orlando office to the scene, where they are assisting in the investigation and working to determine the motivation, officials said. Authorities did not immediately comment on a possible motive for the shooting, which occurred just a week before the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre in downtown Orlando. Rick Scott said in a statement, “Over the past year, the Orlando community has been challenged like never before.”

“I ask all Floridians to pray for the families impacted by this senseless act of violence,” Scott said.
