June 5 (UPI) — Five people, including the shooter, died in gunfire Monday morning at a business in an Orlando, Fla., industrial area, police said.

Police said the shooting appears to be work related. Capt. Angelo Nieves of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said a “multiple fatality” shooting was being investigated. The sheriff’s office later called the situation “contained and stable.”

The names of those killed were not immediately reported. The incident occurred at Orlando’s Fiamma Inc. industrial park.

Agents of the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also were investigating, WESH-TV, Orlando, reported.

The incident comes one week before the first anniversary of a terrorist attack on an Orlando nightclub in which 49 people died.
