"It looks as though it's on the 13th or 14th floor. If you look up, you can see construction workers hiding behind concrete bollards," she said.
"Earlier I saw people on the 13th floor, below the people on the 14th floor, and they started running across the floor. Unsure exactly what is going on up there, but one of the workers who was inside told me they saw someone with a gun."
