News4Jax reported Tuesday night that two people were shot at an Amazon Fulfillment Center in Jacksonville, Florida, and one of them has died. 

A large police presence outside the Pecan Road facility was filmed at 8:35 p.m. 

“Sources say one person is dead and another person was transported to a hospital,” News4Jax reported. “Sources said this is not an active shooter situation.”

The television station also said, “A woman who works at the center said she heard gunshots while she was in the cafeteria.”


First Coast News came on the air just before the presidential debate began at 9 p.m. to say the incident was an intended “murder-suicide.”

A prospective Amazon employee was killed outside the same facility in June while standing in line to apply for a job.
