“Mall parking lot is still an active scene.”

Sanford’s public information officer, Bianca Gillett, declared that a “black male” had sustained “multiple gunshot wounds” but appears to be stabilising in hospital.

She explained: “Hello my name is Bianca Gillett, at approximately 7.30pm this evening Sanford Police Department received a 911 call reporting a shooting with injuries that took place in the parking lot of the mall outside of Burlington Coat Factory.

“When our officers arrived we found a black male, approximately 19 years of age with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to one of the area hospitals and we reported that he is originally had life-threatening injuries but he seems to be at this point stabilising.

“Based on the initial investigation, what we have right now is that the victim is possibly someone that is known to the shooter, that the victim was in the parking lot and the shooter was in the parking lot with a group of other individuals when the shooting occurred.

“After the shooting the shooter got into a black, possibly newer model four-door vehicle and fled the area.”

“Other individuals that were in that group ran inside the mall through the Burlington entrance. The shooter is described right now as a black male, approximately five foot 10 to five foot 11, that is the only description we have at this time.

“The other individuals we are still gathering information from witnesses and we immediately closed the mall and we are systemically going through and looking for those individuals.

“We have no reports of any injuries for any additional victims, nor any shooting that occurred inside the mall.”

Seminole Towne Center shopping mall is roughly a 30minute drive from the centre of Orlando.

A witness in the area named Kyle stated that he saw “tons of cops” in the surrounding area.

He tweeted: “Something must be happening by Seminole Towne Center.

“Tons of cops at intersections all around shopping areas and copters in the air.

“Something serious is going down.

“Haven’t seen that many cops in a long time.”

Another witness, Jacob Wilson, claims one person was shot in the chaos.

He told the Daily Star: “From what I know and have heard, there was a confrontation outside the mall.

“One person got shot and the shooter is still on the loose.

“There are cops blocking every entrance to the mall.”

Local media also reported one person was shot “multiple times” – the incident is understood to have taken place at 7.40pm local time (12.40am GMT).

The mall advertises itself as being home to “big-name department stores” that include American Eagle Outfitters and Best Buy Mobile.

The shooting comes after last months devastating shooting at Stonemason Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that killed 17.
