A video posted on Facebook showed how gleeful scenario in the Orlando gay nightclub turned into a nightmare. It was unclear when the gunman killed the victims. A gunman killed 50 people at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida on Sunday and wounded 53 others before being killed by police in the worst mass shooting in US history. A hostage situation quickly developed, and three hours later SWAT team officers used armored cars to storm the club before shooting dead the gunman. The shooter was identified as Omar S. Mateen, a Florida resident who a senior FBI official said might have had leanings towards ISIS militants.
