Orlando: America's Deadliest Mass Shooting

A muslim gunman killed 50 and wounded another 53 at a night club late Saturday night. The gunman, Omar Mateen called 911 around the time of the attack to pledge allegiance to ISIS and mentioned the Boston bombers, according to a U.S. official.

Mateen carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed nightclub at about 2 a.m and started shooting. He killed 50 people and wounded at least 53 others. A hostage situation developed once police arrived on the scene. After a 3 hours standoff police crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and killed Mateen.

No terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though ISIS sympathizers have praised the attack on pro- Islamic State forums.

The Orlando Massacre is the deadliest mass shooting in American history, surpassing the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech which killed 32 and wounded 30.
