ORLANDO, Florida: Two people were killed and six injured yesterday in the second mass shooting in the US in as many days, with police still hunting the gunman in Orlando, Florida. Panicked workers reportedly barricaded themselves into their

offices at the Gateway Centre in central Orlando as SWAT teams combed through the 16-storey building trying to track down suspected shooter 40-year-old Jason Rodriguez, a former employee. The shooting comes a day after a US army psychiatrist opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, in a rampage that left 13 people dead. Meanwhile, a video praised Major Nidal Malik Hasan for the shooting, saying he had "put terror and chaos in the ranks of the enemy", the SITE Intelligence Group said.
