A gunman was at large after firefighters and police responded to a reported shooting Friday at a high-rise building in Orlando, Florida, authorities said.It's like everything's falling apart out there. It's crazy.Authorities received a report shortly before noon of a shooting on an upper floor of the high rise, said John Tormos of the Orlando Fire Department.
A spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office, which is helping the city police department, said investigators are looking for a man wearing a blue Polo shirt, gray vest and blue jeans.
"We're in a search mode for the gunman," said Jim Solomons, a spokesman for the sheriff's office.
CNN affiliate WESH reported that at least eight people were shot at the Gateway Center -- a 16-story building near Lake Ivanhoe and Interstate 4.
The interstate was closed in both directions near the office building, according to the Florida Department of Transportation Web site.
[UPDATE 1:51 PM] MSNBC has ID'ed the suspect as 40 year old Jason Rodriguez, a former employee in the building.
[UPDATE 2:30 PM] AP is reporting that Rodriguez has been apprehended.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns it's lonely eyes to you
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
They were singing,
"bye-bye, Miss American Pie."
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "this'll be the day that I die."
