Update: We have learned that this incident may affect the family of one of us. AFJuvat reports that his daughter's room mate attends that very club, and cannot be reached/accounted for at this time. AF and his daughter had left the general area before the incident began.

Knee Mails for AF, his daughter, and her room mate.

Count now at 50 dead, 53 hospitalized, per current news reports.

The suspect has been identified as 29 y/o Omar Saddiqui Mateen. Reportedly, his father was interviewed and stated, "He said he didn't like seeing LGBT males kissing each other..."

Further Update: The roommate of AFJuvat's daughter has been accounted for and is safe, apparently leaving the club before the incident began.

Toll is currently 50 dead, 53 wounded. Currently, it appears that some were killed in a crossfire between the terrorist and the police. Awful. Simply awful.

Actually, Florida law doesn't allow guns in a place like this, or at least that's the general interpretation of the law. A place that is just a bar, even if it has a dance floor, is off limits. It's a true gun-free zone.

How the hell did people get shot with a gun in a "true gun-free zone"?

Just a "defenseless victim zone."
