The location is an industrial area in suburban Orlando, northeast of downtown.
Forsyth Road was closed near Hanging Moss Road, WFTV reports. Police officers are gathered in a parking lot outside several warehouses.

Almost a year ago, Orlando was the site of the nation's worst terror attack since 9/11. On June 12, 2016, a gunman killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub.

Edit to add - apparently CNN was looking at the timing versus what happened almost a year ago (June 12, 2016) at the night club.

1. This is one of the quibbles I have with our media's race to instant news.

I'm in Central Florida and anxious for more information. This was posted before any details. There isn't anything of substance in addition to the headline. I'd rather not know for another 30 minutes and see more details the first time I hear of it. But maybe that's just me.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Yup - I posted what the Orlando Sentinel had too since CNN did a breaking

They hopped on it because of the "fatalities" thing.

[TheDebbieDee]

6. No, its not just you! I'm sick of the Breaking News

Titles with little to no info as well... It happens on this site often, too.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. What you're asking for is impossible.

At least in today's day in age where social media dominates. How can you expect to not know when news, news that isn't even reported by the media, can be read by millions of people via twitter within seconds? That's just an unreasonable expectation to expect zero reporting on something that, within minutes, is going to be burning up social media pages.

8. Perhaps I am unreasonable.

Still think there should be a difference between journalism and social media. Not everyone is hanging on Twittersphere's every word for our news.

2. They want to be first

at the expense of being vetted and complete.

[Beakybird]

3. They should just say, "Something bad happened."

And then wait until they get the details.

[PatSeg]

5. Or "Oh MY God"

[smirkymonkey]

13. *snort*

Yes, that's my favorite!

9. My the progress we have made

I remember the early era of mass shootings... break in round the clock coverage.

Now... MSNBC hasn't even mentioned 5 people being shot and killed in Florida.

It's expected. It's a local news story now. Mass shootings have become normal.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Yup

and recall that whenever this type of thing happened, the President was expected to make some sort of statement of condolence to the victims.

Nowadays, we have someone in the WH attacking people expressing condolences to victims of violence.

11. What is it about Orlando?

Seems to have a lot of crazies there.

[HAB911]

15. It's Florida in general

government by rednecks

[KG]

12. further proof guns are not a problem in this country.

[HAB911]

14. If only silencers were legal

at least on one's hearing could have been damaged

[War Pigs]

16. another of the 14,000 annual US homicides NOT committed by an ISIS

sympathizer. Will orange menace assign Jarvanka to solve this non-muslim US murder rate?? Let's track all fired workers and angry divorced men, maybe internment camps or deportation? Oh wait, I forgot that's only for Muslims

[LeftInTX]

17. This story will fade from the news, while the London attack will persist

The same amount of lives are lost.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. Just for comparison,

that's only 3 fewer people than died in the London Bridge/Market attack. To summarize, terrorists=bad, nut with a gun=ok.
