The shooter was allegedly reported in the VA clinic adjacent to the center, according to KFOX14.

A woman who at the scene today told Buzzfeed that she was leaving the clinic when military police started rushing into the building.

The clinic has four floors, while the center has 11 floors and is one of the largest buildings in El Paso at 254,00-square-feet.
