AN active shooter warning was issued for residents in Hernando County, Florida.<\/p>\n

According to Tampa Bay 10, the incident unfolded at BioSpine Institute, a spine care and treatment center, on Mariner Boulevard south of Landover Boulevard in Spring Hill on July 26.<\/p>\n

Is there an active shooter in Hernando County?<\/h2>\n

About 30 deputies arrived minutes later to evacuate the clinic, and found the suspect in an office toward the back of the building, WFLA reported.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how many people were inside the building when the shots rang out.<\/p>\n

Police have confirmed that two people are in custody; however, the identity of those arrested has yet to be released.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people were just running out. Some people ran to a church next door,\u201d said sheriff\u2019s office spokeswoman Denise Moloney.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were just getting out of there and getting to whatever safe place they could.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of the incident, the sheriff's office said the church across the street, Mariner United Methodist Church, was being used as a safe haven for people nearby.<\/p>\n

As of 12pm, Hernando County\u00a0deputies say there is no danger to the public after two people were taken into custody.<\/p>\n

Was anyone killed in the shooting?<\/h2>\n

Moloney said a woman sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to an area hospital, where she is listed in critical condition.<\/p>\n

The shooter was also injured and rushed to an area hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is believed the two individuals are known to each other,\u201d Moloney said. <\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s name is being withheld from the public.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Authorities are still working to determine how the shooter sustained a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t from one of our deputies. We did not engage him,\u201d Moloney said.<\/p>\n

Officials said an investigation is underway.<\/p>\n
