UPDATE: Orlando nightclub shooting: police say up to 20 dead in terrorist incident

quote [ Police confirmed that a number of people had been killed in the attack - in the ?vicinity of 20? - but refused to give a toll. They added that 42 people had been taken to hospital and confirmed the gunman was armed with an assault rifle, handgun and ?some kind of device?.

In a press conference on Sunday morning, an FBI spokesman said investigators believed the attacker may have had extremist beliefs, and would consider possible links to Isis, but cautioned they were pursuing multiple leads. ]

Shit.

"One witness told Sky News there were more than 100 people inside the venue for the club?s Latin night when the gunman entered the building and began firing into the ceiling and into the crowd. He could not confirm if there was only one or multiple gunman.

Anthony Torres told Sky News he was outside the club when the shooting began and confirmed that he thought more than one person was involved in the attack. He believed the shooting lasted between 15 and 20 minutes."

Wasn't it a hostage situation for a while? If there were demands made and negotiations I imagine the police already have a pretty good idea of motives at least.

From Vice, just updated

"Law enforcement officials identified the suspect as Omaar Mateen, who was born in the US in 1986 to parents from Afghanistan, and lives in Port St. Lucie. He used an AR-15 assault style rifle and a handgun in the attack."

Who knows, then...
