Just before 10:30 a.m., the Melbourne Police Department tweeted that officers were "currently working a shooting" at the Melbourne Square Mall.
Ten minutes later, the police tweeted that the "shooter is contained." The police added that the mall is temporarily closed and officers are working to clear the shopping center store by store.
The police department has not reported injuries.
Daniel Timothy, a manager at a restaurant next to the mall, says it's a "great relief" police have contained the shooter.
"We were on edge," Timothy said. "It's a great relief and you know now we can open for business."
Calls to the Melbourne Police Department were not immediately returned.
