Police reported a male subject down on the floor of the fourth floor with a gun in his hand. A second subject — possibly a female — was also reported down. Paramedics that were staged near the crime scene were called to check for vital signs. Police reported that both victims appeared to be deceased, but this has not been confirmed.
