Tony Awards dedicated to Orlando shooting victims

Orlando Police Chief John Mina initially said “around 20” people succumbed to gunshot wounds inside the Pulse Orlando nightclub, but later said police found far more victims once they gained full access to the scene.

After previous mass shootings and terrorist attacks, Obama typically has waited before speaking in public, giving law enforcement and intelligence agencies more time to determine what happened before addressing the nation.

In 2014, authorities interrogated Mateen anew for “possible ties” to an American suicide bomber, Moner Mohammad Abusalha, who appeared in an al-Nusra Front video in Syria. Like Maten, Abusalha lived in Fort Pierce, Fla. They said the ties were minimal and they didn’t think he represented a threat at the time.

Mateen was 29 years old and born in NY.

Hopper did not comment on whether Mateen declared his allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also know as ISIS) group as reported in USA media, but said the caller made references “to the Islamic State”. As of 3:45 p.m. Sunday, the list had four names.

In an earlier Facebook post, the Islamic center also directly condemned the Orlando shooting and borrowed the strong language from CAIR, repudiating anyone who would commit such violent acts.

“We offer our most honest condolences to the family and friends of the innocent victims of this act of terror, and our deepest gratitude to the first responders and law enforcement who responded to this tragedy with bravery and courage”, Hogan said.

Trump said in a statement that he’ll deliver a speech on Monday on the attack, immigration, and national security, calling the shooter “the son of an immigrant from Afghanistan who openly published his support for the Afghanistani Taliban” and accusing his likely Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, of wanting to “dramatically increase admissions from the Middle East”.

In the deadliest mass shooting in United States history, Omar S. Mateen, of Port Saint Lucie, killed at least 50 people inside Pulse Orlando with an assault-type rifle and handgun. It comes after a shooter walked into a nightclub early Sunday morning and opened fire, killing dozens of people and injuring dozens more.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released a statement condemning the Orlando shooting and encouraging Muslims to donate blood. In a statement Sunday, the Tony Awards said “our hearts are heavy for the unimaginable tragedy”. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi says the pontiff denounces the “homicidal folly and senseless hatred”. Still here in bathroom He had us They need to come get us Ok she said they coming The police is in There.

Obama urged Americans to pray for the victims and their families. The official spoke to The Associated Press Sunday about the shooting.

“If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still can not say the two words ‘radical Islam, ‘ she should get out of this race for the presidency”, Trump said.
