“Orlando Nightclub Shooting,” Reuters, June 12, 2016:
A man armed with an assault rifle and a handgun stormed a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and killed 50 people in the worst U.S. mass shooting in history.
Here’s what we know so far:
The shooter, identified by authorities as Omar S. Mateen, was killed by police. CBS News reported that he was born in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and that his parents were from Afghanistan.
Islamic State claims responsibility, according to AMOQ News Agency.
President Obama calls the shooting “an act of hate and an act of terror.”…

Wellington says
Not to worry. The Islamic State is just a JV player.
Ed Lee says
Mr. President, how ’bout calling it an act of war?
Angemon says
Gee, what a surprise! In other equally breaking news, grass is green and the sky is blue.
Undaunted says
The body-count was as high as it was not because of ISIS or Islam or Mateen but because OPD took over three hours to send in SWAT. Period.
Beslan taught them nothing.
