Holy wow. What a horrible story to wake up to:
Orlando Nightclub Shooting
I'm going to check a few other places that I read, CNN makes my eyes burn. But just wow.
I'll update this as I find out more.
The "I" word just came up...
ETA: Interesting to Note. Fox News Immediately says "Radical Islamic Terror" (it says that on foxnews.com in the title) and doesn't mention "Assault Weapon" for like 5 paragraphs. Fox News
(quote not working)
NBC News mentions terrorism (but leans towards "domestic") and brings up Assault Style sooner. NBC News
(quote not working)
For some reason I can't add quotes (when I copy and paste the quote if just pastes nothing). I was trying to point out how Fox says Islamic Terrorism and puts "assault weapon" in parentheses. NBC says "Domestic Terror" in parentheses and Assault weapon as a bold matter of fact. Nothing that's new to anybody here, it's just refreshing to see these two sides very much playing up their niche.
Orlando Nightclub Shooting
Quote:Approximately 20 people are dead inside Pulse, a gay nightclub, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said Sunday morning, just hours after a shooter opened fire in the club. At least 42 people have been transported for medical treatment, he said.
Police have shot and killed the gunman, Mina told reporters.
"It's appears he was organized and well-prepared," the chief said, adding that the shooter had an assault-type weapon, a handgun and "some type of (other) device on him."
At least nine officers were involved in the shootout, Mina said. Several coroner vans were seen traveling toward the nightclub.

I'll update this as I find out more.
Quote:Sources have confirmed to CBS News that authorities are investigating whether the suspect, Omar Mateen, had ties to Islamic terrorism. Mateen is a U.S. citizen with no apparent criminal history, according to sources.
