The worst mass shooting in the history of the United States. Wow.[font=CNN,][font=CNN,]Orlando, Florida (CNN)[/font]A gay nightclub here was the scene early Sunday of the worst terror attack in U.S. history since 9/11.[/font]
[font=CNN,]* 50 people were killed inside the Pulse club and at least 53 people were injured, police say.[/font]
[font=CNN,]* The gunman was Omar Mateen of Ft. Pierce, Florida, a law enforcement source told CNN.[/font]
[font=CNN,]* Orlando police shot and killed Mateen.[/font]
[font=CNN,]"It appears he was organized and well-prepared," Orlando Police Chief John Mina said early Sunday. The shooter had an assault-type weapon, a handgun and "some type of (other) device on him."[/font]
[font=CNN,]There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on jihadi forums, but ISIS sympathizers have reacted by praising the attack on pro-Islamic State forums.
Officials, aided by the FBI, warned that a lengthy investigation was ahead given the number of victims and the scope of the violence.[/font]
I'm surprised i didn't hear about this earlier.
It happened Sunday morning, at around 2 a.m.
I'm not sure yet if it was an act of aggression against LGBTQ community or just an act of domestic terrorism.
