    Police in Orlando have reported "multiple injuries" following a shooting at a nightclub in the city.

    The shooting occurred at the Pulse nightclub, which urged patrons in a post on its Facebook page to "get out" and "keep running."

    Police in Orlando said via Twitter that there are "multiple injuries" and have warned people to stay away from the area.

    "There are injuries. I am not sure if there are any deceased at this time," a police dispatcher told AFP.

    Police described the situation as an "active shooting"

    "Officers are going in to search the building and to get people out," the dispatcher said.

    On its Twitter page, Pulse describes itself as Orlando's premiere gay ultra lounge, nightclub and bar.

    Local media reported that a number of people, ranging from seven to as many as 20, had been shot.

    Several people posted on social media that a gunman was still inside the club and was holding hostages.

    Over 20 people shot and hostages taken according to reports on twitter. The nightclub is a gay club and it's pride weekend so may be anti gay extremists behind the attack.

    Horrible situation.
