This news is breaking, updates to come.

Police have ordered people to stay away from the area, and have asked news reporters to move to a farther location. Supposedly hostages have been taken.

Caveat: An earlier report that these were Somali Muslims on a rampage, was inaccurate.

Update 10:24 AM PDT: SHOTS have been fired out the back of the building.

There have been no victims at this moment and no shootings are happening. There is a hostage situation, with one shooter and at one hostage, possibly three.

This is likely a workplace violence situation.

UPDATE: 10:35, TWO of the hostages are reported released. Allegedly, a disgruntled employee took the manager, and assistant manager and an employee hostage. The hostages have been released.

10:46: The shooter is reported dead.
