The shooting happened around 8am in an industrial area on North Forsyth Road near Hanging Moss Road.
The police presence on the scene appears to be centered on Fiamma, a company that makes awnings for RVs. However, officials have not confirmed what business the shooting took place at.
A woman at the scene told WKMG that her sister works at Fiamma, and told her that her boss had been killed.
‘She saw one on the floor is all she said, and she kept saying my boss is dead, ‘ Shelley Adams said of her ‘distraught’ sister Sheila McIntyre.
Sheriff Jerry Demmings is on the seen and is expected to make a statement soon.
The FBI joint terrorism task force also has an official on the scene.
Sources told WKMG that the shooting was not related to terrorism.
Monday’s shooting comes exactly a week before the one-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando .
Forty-nine people were killed inside the nightclub by ISIS -inspired gunman Omar Mateen in what is now the deadliest mass shooting in U. S. history.
