  • 20 Dead In Florida Night Club Shooting...

    Looks like a possible act of terrorism.

    Police say approximately 20 people have been killed inside a Florida nightclub, and at least 42 were wounded.

    Orlando Police Chief John Mina says authorities have not determined an exact number of people killed, but that "approximately 20" have died.

    Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agent in Charge Danny Banks says the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. He says authorities are looking into whether this was an act of domestic or international terror, and if the shooter was a lone wolf.

    We heard in the UK that it was some extremist attacking Gays.

      Interesting. ..the nightclub posted a warning on their FB to get out and keep running. I'm no fan of nightclubs, but for such a supposedly social environment it's very telling that they thought of FB.

      eider, it may well prove to be so. Some Terrorist groups disapprove of the gay "lifestyle".

      I like the police asking the media not to put out erroneous information but not sure how effective that's going to be.

        ...and now it's a little closer to home, it appears. One of my fellow church members says a friend of her was shot there. I may see her this morning so I'll see if she knows more about her/his condition.

          Domestic terrorism with the potential for international terrorism as well.

              Muslim terrorists aren't "extremist", they're orthodox.

                Let's not be coy, it's not "some terrorist groups" but specifically Muslims.

                  *sigh*

                  After what happened in recent tragedies, I prefer to wait out all the hysteria.

                    Two things to consider.

                    The Orlando Sentinel is saying that the shooter, who has been named as 29-year-old Omar Mir Seddique Mateen (born to Afghan parents), was possibly wearing an explosive device. Orlando Police Chief John Mina has confirmed that he was carrying "some type of device on him."

                    ISIS announced three days ago that they were specifically targeting Florida.

                      Like other recent tragedies, we already have more than enough information to identify the killer and his motivation. What else are you waiting for? This is an act of Islamic terrorism. It's as simple as that.

                        Sometimes early reports have been shown to provide less than accurate details.

                          I live 10 miles from the location. The club in question is indeed a popular hangout for homosexuals.

                              And the cover-up begins as the media shows more interest in the type of weapon used than they do in the fact that the shooter was Muslim.
