The gunman, a white male with a pony tail, was reportedly seen pacing in front of the library minutes before the shooting started. He was challenged by the female cop who was working a off-duty detail at the library and shot several times. When the shooting broke out persons using the library were forced to scamper for cover. However no one else was injured in the incident.

The incident caused a major traffic pile up around Flagler Street and the number 21 Metrobus service was forced to bypass the area.

The Florida Police are investigating the incident.
