The 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting (also known as the Pulse nightclub massacre[1][2][3]) was a mass shooting that took place in the early morning of 12 June 2016 at the Pulse in Florida, which describes itself as Orlando's Premiere Gay Ultra Lounge, Nightclub, and Bar.[4]
At least 50 people were killed, including the gunman, who was identified as Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old American citizen of Afghan descent.[5]
The shooting was officially labelled an act of domestic terrorism, the shooter having said to have pledged allegiance to Islamic State.[6][7]
Deadliest
The Pulse nightclub massacre is the deadliest mass shooting in United States history,[8][9][10] the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in U.S. history,[11] and the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since September 11, 2001.[12]
Political capital
Making political capital out of the mass shooting, Donald Trump reiterated his call for a temporary ban on Muslim migration to the United States and criticised Hillary Clinton for what he claimed was her desire to “dramatically increase admissions from the Middle East.”[13]
Corbett report
On 13 June 2016, James Corbett reported: Over 50 people are dead after a shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida on Sunday night. The shooter has been identified as Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old resident of Fort Pierce, Florida. Mateen was a Muslim, a registered Democrat, and a legal gun owner. In the bingo card of suspicious events, we can check off:
- Mateen allegedly took time out of the carnage to phone 911 and declare his allegiance to I-CIA-SIS.
- He was previously known to the FBI who was “on the radar before.”
- Mateen’s father, Seddique Mir Mateen, hosts a show broadcast from California in which he praises the Taliban and recently posted a YouTube video announcing his candidacy for Afghan president…a year after the last election took place.[14]
But as information continues to pour in, it’s up to all of us to help collect the data. If you have any relevant news or information about the shooting and the way the investigation is proceeding, please share them in the comments below.[15]
