JACKSONVILLE, Florida — A woman was dead and a man was rushed to a hospital following a shooting at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Jacksonville on Tuesday night, ABC affiliate WJXX reported.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, authorities were called shortly before 7:30 p.m. to the warehouse where they found a man and woman, both of whom had been shot.

The woman died at the scene and the man's condition was unknown, according to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.

The Sheriff's Office said the shooting occurred between two employees and appeared to be a domestic situation, though the relationship between the man and woman was unknown.

“I want to emphasize that this does not appear to be any type of active shooter incident,” Lt. J.D. Stronko said.

A weapon was recovered at the scene and authorities said they were working to determine which individual was the shooter.

This was not the first time a deadly shooting has taken place at the Amazon facility. Back in June, a 20-year-old man applying for a job at the facility was shot and killed, while two others were wounded.
