SWAT Team On Scene At Newspaper Offices
(CBS)MIAMI The sixth floor of the Miami Herald newspaper building has been evacuated after a man identified as a former cartoonist for El Nuevo Herald walked into the El Nuevo newsroom with a gun.
Police set up a perimeter around the downtown building that houses the Herald and its Spanish-language publication El Nuevo Herald. It was not immediately known if there were injuries or hostages.
Katia Rodriguez, who works at the newspaper's city desk, said employees were being evacuated from the sixth floor. It was not clear whether employees from other floors were being evacuated.
They said the man appeared agitated and demanded to see El Nuevo Herald's executive editor, Humberto Castello. He appeared to be armed with a handgun, employees said. El Nuevo Herald is a Spanish-language newspaper published by The Miami Herald Media Co.
"I thought it was a joke," one employee said.
About 12 to 15 employees inside the newsroom were present, employees said. El Nuevo Herald employees have been instructed not to talk to other reporters.
