42 people shot and injured--20 dead in Orlando Mass shooting--FUCK!

[trumad]

Just confirmed via a press conference in Orlando.

I know this club well---many of my Gay friends frequent it...love it. My own daughter has been there several times.

Plus---my daughter works two doors down from the Plaza---the scene of the shooting of Christina Grimmie two nights ago.

Am I concerned for her safety? You bet.

2. This is the second new member coming in to report this shit.

I've follwed this all morning and haven't seen or heard any of this.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Exactly

The freaks are coming out like wildfire.

[IronLionZion]

47. The newer DUers know things before it appears in news reports

the lower someone's post count, the more clairvoyant they are when it comes to certain topics.

People who want to wait for verified information have clearly been here too long.

We'll have more of this until Trump loses in November.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. That's not what I heard

They are still investigating. The only thing they said that the suggestion of "terrorism" (whether domestic or foreign) meant that the FBI takes the lead.

[trumad]

7. I live in the fucking area and they did no such thing.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Uh - I have the damn TV on

and he said no such thing except that they would be investigating that angle as part of the investigation.

The key take-away being that "terrorism" is considered FBI, regardless of domestic or foreign.

[trumad]

6. This is troll shit.

Ignore

13. ABC is reporting it. It's still early.

FBI: There are "suggestions" shooter at Orlando nightclub had radical Islamic leanings

At a press conference on Sunday at 7 a.m., an FBI official was asked if the shooter, who was shot and killed by police, had ties to Jihadist terror groups. "At this time we're looking at all angles right now." the official said. "We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings towards that, that particular ideology. But right now we can’t say definitively so we’re still running everything around”

18. The press conference that happened

did not start until 7:15 and the FBI agent (in charge) who came on after local & state officials, kept it circumspect -i.e., looking at all angles.

[babylonsister]

11. Got a link for that? I'm watching locally

and radical Islam has not been mentioned, but "DOMESTIC TERRORISM" has been. Is that just wishful thinking, is this a hit-and-run post? IOW, prove it now or quit it.

[grossproffit]

14. Via ABC news:

15. Thanks.

Not mentioned at all on the local channel, so no one really knows yet. Locally they specifically said 'domestic terrorism' so I guess we'll have to wait and see. Either way, horrific.

[riversedge]

19. thanks and agree.

[MH1]

29. Seems most likely to me that it's "radical I-hate-gays-ism"

but of course, as mentioned, it's still early.

It is possible it is someone who had a different kind of beef with that club or someone in it. Or someone just completely mentally unstable who randomly picked it. But I'm thinking "I-hate-gays-ism" is probably the leading theory at this point.

[babylonsister]

30. Shooter's name was OMAR MATEEN from Port St. Lucie, FL., a

US citizen.

Could also be a disgruntled ex-employee? Lots of possibilities.

[malaise]

16. And I just heard on GEM$NBComcast that it was

Latin night

[mucifer]

17. NY Times said that, too.

[Thinkingabout]

20. Another mass shooting, innocent are dead and many hurt, when will this stop.

I attended a session by local police department on what to do in case of a active shooter, it was powerful, I dont know if I would be safe in a active shooter situation but I am aware of some possible defenses.

[tallahasseedem]

21. The fact that they are...

trying to blame this on radical islamic terrorism on CNN is absurd.

[AngryAmish]

22. Daesh has called for lone wolf Ramadan attacks.

It was in the papers.

[Southerncomfy]

26. Of course they will. Republicans will be in bliss if it were to be the case.

I bet that trump will say it's Islamic EVEN IF IT'S NOT.

[apcalc]

27. We will have to wait for further investigation .

[Johnny2X2X]

31. Omar Mateen

The shooter was from FL, parents from Afghanistan.

[Ace Rothstein]

33. If the shoe fits.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

[Glitterati]

24. Sis is a Doctor at Orlando hospital

Don't want to text or contact as I'm certain all medical personnel are in a all hands on deck with this many shot/injured.

What a nightmare.

[Sunlei]

25. police had 'gunfight' outside club, gunman ran inside and then 'police' shot him inside.

why were police shooting so much with people everywhere?

[apcalc]

28. They want to kill him before he kills more,

[JCMach1]

40. domestic terrorism... he was intent on murdering as many as possible

[valerief]

32. Praise Jeebus the shooter had his gawd-given 2A right to a firearm so that he

could protect his family. Cuz libertea.

[Feeling the Bern]

34. Murika!

[etherealtruth]

35. Did i just hear 50 dead .... my god

[Hassin Bin Sober]

36. I think you did. I did too.

I feel sick to my stomach

[etherealtruth]

38. OMG .... this is just too horrible to wrap my mind around

[Amimnoch]

39. Yeah. 50 dead 53 injured on CNN right now.

I don't have words...

[etherealtruth]

42. i truly feel ill ....

You are right, there are no words for this kind of horror

[Liberal_in_LA]

48. Just woke to this huge death count. Shocking!

[etherealtruth]

[JCMach1]

37. 50 dead per Mayor Dyer, just now

[Chicago1980]

41. I don't even know what to say...

This is beyond tragic.

You can bet with the name 'Omar Saddiqui', it's going to become an issue in the presidential race.

[Gothmog]

43. This is so very very sad and wrong

[RockaFowler]

44. This violence has to stop

Oh and the man who they identified is from my area of Port St Lucie.

I can't take this anymore. And yes I will say it - something has to be done about the guns in this country

[Politicub]

45. I'm speechless.

[TonyPDX]

46. If guns actually made us safer,

Floriduh would be one of the safest places on planet Earth.
