A gunman on Tuesday shot a woman multiple times inside a busy office building in downtown Denver before killing himself, authorities said. The shooter, whose name has not yet been released, walked into the Alliance Center, a building that houses several environmental organizations, and opened fire on the victim, the Associated Press reports. Police found the gunman dead at the scene with a “possibly self-inflicted gunshot wound” shortly before 3 p.m., Schepman said. The victim is in critical condition. The relationship between the victim and the suspect is unclear.

A woman was critically injured in a shooting inside a downtown Denver office building on Tuesday and police said the suspected gunman was pronounced dead at the scene with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Denver Police spokesman Doug Schepman told reporters at a news conference that the woman was shot multiple times around 2:45 p.m. local time (2045 GMT) and was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The suspect appeared to specifically target the victim, Schepman said, adding that the building was searched and secured and no further threats were found. The Denver Post newspaper uploaded video online showing office workers with their hands above their heads fleeing the building dubbed the Alliance Center, a hub for environmental activism groups and other organizations.

Officers went floor by floor to clear the Alliance Center, a building that houses several environmental organizations and provides shared workspaces. Other buildings were locked down, and people were asked to stay away from the area. Nicole Arnone, who works for the nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute on the third floor of the building, said she was listening to a conference call with earbuds when a co-worker tapped her on the shoulder and said, "We just heard a few loud bangs and some screaming, and I think we need to go." "We debated whether to hide in the corner or run," Arnone said, and they decided to flee. She smelled smoke and thought it was either a fire or gunpowder, she said. Arnone spotted a shell casing in the stairwell as she fled.
