His statement called for doing "more to address mental health issues in this country". The worker, whose name hasn't been released, was sacked in April.

The 45-year-old suspect was armed with a handgun and a knife, and was a former employee of the company, which makes camping accessories.

Deputies will provide an update at 2 p.m. Demings characterized the shooting as a likely "workplace violence incident".

"He was certainly singling out the individuals he shot", Demings said, adding that most victims were shot in the head. "Our hearts go out to the victims". The sheriff says the shooting is not believed to have any link to terrorism.

Hear Demings describe a previous incident of workplace violence in which the gunman was involved at the business on "Channel 9 Eyewitness News at Noon".

Three men and one woman were dead on scene, and another man was transported to the hospital where he died of his injuries.

The shooting was reported about 8 a.m. Monday. The gay nightclub was the site of the worst mass shooting in modern US history.

Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings is expected to give a briefing. Police are not searching for an active shooter, the station says.

The scene is off Forsyth Avenue, southeast of downtown Orlando, in an industrial/business area.

She kept repeating "My boss is dead".

Deputies said the scene is contained. The roads have been closed off to traffic. No other details were made available.
