Number one massacre

In the city of Orlando in the center of the American state of Florida, the terrorist shot a party in the Pulse gay club, killing 50 people and injuring another 53. Reuters reported .

During the police operation, the terrorist was killed. It is reported that his name is Omar S. Matin. According to AFP, Matin was an American citizen of Afghan origin. According to NBS News, he was born in New York in 1986, and lived in the city of Port Sent-Lusi in the east of Florida, 200 kilometers south of Orlando.

The FBI unambiguously qualified the incident as an act of terrorism.

The special services do not exclude that Matin sympathized with radical Islam. Nevertheless, definitely confirm or refute this assumption to the investigation, the security forces emphasize. By virtue of this, the FBI is still difficult to answer whether the incident of international terrorism can be considered.

Matin entered the shootout with the club guard about 2 a.m. local time (9 in the morning). The terrorist was armed with a gun, a gun and a certain weapon yet.

Initially, law enforcement officers refrained from the assault, but three hours later they captured the club and shot a terrorist. During the assault, at least one policeman was wounded. When exactly Matin killed his victims, so far remains unknown.

During the assault, the police made a controlled explosion in the building. The meaning of this action, however, is not explained.

The terrorist attack in Orlando is the most deadly mass execution in the history of the United States. The number of its victims is more than one and a half times higher than the number of those who died duringthe execution at the Technological University of Virginia in April 2007, which has still remained the most deadly attack of this kind. Then 32 people died.

US President Barack Obama ordered the Federal Administration to provide all the assistance of the Florida police in the investigation of the crime.

As noted, this is the second attack in the last days with the use of firearms in Orlando. On June 10, the young singer Kristina Grimmy was shot dead during an autograph session after a concert. As expected, the murder was committed by the mentally ill admirer.
