Several people are feared killed in a workplace shooting in Orlando, Florida, on Monday morning, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Police say there have been "multiple fatalities" and added that the situation has been contained.

The shooting happened early on Monday morning in the east of the city, a local newspaper reports.

It comes a week before the first anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in the city -- the deadliest mass shooting in US history -- in which 49 people died.

In last June's shooting, gunman Omar Mateen killed 49 people and injured dozens more at a gay nightclub before being shot dead by police.
