Six people have been confirmed dead following a shooting at a manufacturing warehouse in Aurora, Illinois, on Friday.

He allegedly opened fire at the Henry Pratt water valve manufacturing plant around 1.40pm local time Friday, fatally shooting five people and injuring multiple others.

Martin fled the scene but was later cornered by police and shot dead. 

The gunman's sister Tameka Martin told WBEZ that he had worked at Henry Pratt for about 20 years before losing his job about two weeks ago. The gunman's mother told WGN: 'My heart goes out to all the victims and their families.' 

According to witnesses, Martin had arrived for work at 7am like he would on other day, but then after lunch walked down an aisle of the warehouse , shooting 'everybody' with a pistol that had a laser scope attached to it.  

President Trump reacted to the shooting on Twitter Friday evening, writing: 'Great job by law enforcement in Aurora, Illinois. Heartfelt condolences to all of the victims and their families. America is with you!'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
