| Description | A gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun took hostages and opened fire inside a crowded Florida nightclub, leaving 50 dead and 53 others wounded before dying in a gunfight with SWAT officers, authorities said Sunday.
Florida Governor Rick Scott issued an executive order Sunday declaring an official state of emergency following the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
The suspect was identified by several law enforcement sources as Omar Mateen, according to NBC News. The sources told NBC News Mateen was born in New York in 1986 and was listed as living in a residence in Port St. Lucie, about 125 miles south of Orlando. |
