The suspect in a shooting at a Polk County business Thursday afternoon remains at large.

According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Danny Coleman Thompson Jr., 39, is wanted for the shooting of two people in Mulberry. The shooting happened just after 2 p.m. at 2360 Old Highway 60.

Deputies said Thompson, who is an ex-employee fired 15 months ago, arrived at the MES-GCI Construction facility and started firing at employees.

Officials said Thompson came to the facility looking for his former boss.

Authorities say an overnight manhunt has turned up little.

Two people were taken to Lakeland Regional Health Center with what are described as non-life threatening injuries.

Thompson is armed with a handgun and considered dangerous. He is wanted for attempted first-degree murder and armed burglary. Deputies believe he is still in the Polk County area.

Thompson is described as about 6-foot-2 with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a cap, t-shirt and blue jeans. Deputies believe he is driving a 2006 Ford F-150 Super Crew Cab with Florida tag 212-6PD.

His last known address was Springwoods Lane in Lakeland.

Deputies are camped out in the neighborhood where Thompson was living.

Neighbors said he is well-known in the neighborhood, and his father lived there for a while.

The sheriff's office isn't saying whether they've been able to contact any of Thompson's family members or whether they are helping with the search.

Anyone with information about Thompson's whereabouts is asked to call Heartland Crimestoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS (8477).
