No less than 50 people were killed yesterday when a man suddenly
opened fire on people in a gay night club. Forcing the management of
the club to send an emergency message telling everyone to get away
from the club as far as possible.
The man behind the shooting is a young 29 year old extremist named
Omar Mateen from Florida state. And is believed to be of Afghan
descent. He is alleged to have opened fire on the Pulse club killing
over fifty people, taking many, hostage and hospitalising as many.
Omar was killed shot and killed when the police broke into the club
where he held about 20 people hostage.
The police is yet to find out the motive behind the killing, but
has said they will be treating it as a domestic terrorist case. The
FBI in a statement said the killer may have carried out the act from
his extremist beliefs. Omar was armed with an automatic assault rifle
and an unknown device.
The police reported that the shooting started at. 2am, but that
there was a policeman on duty at the club to exchange shots, but the
policeman was shot in the had, only to be saved by his helmet. FBI
says there could be the possibility the attacker has links with ISIS.
But that they are yet to confirm if there may be other people. The
police also assured that the threat ended at the club, and was not
going to spread to Orlando or Florida.
The attack comes a few days after singer Christina Grimee was shot,
after performing in a concert. But the police says there's no
connection between the two killings.
A witness at the party revealed the pulse club was packed full
with about 100 people when suddenly the killer came in shooting at the
ceiling and at people. Only people close to the club's exit were able
to escape easily.
The attack has been describe as the deadliest mass shooting in US history.
