Gunman Omar Mir Seddique Mateen fatally gunned down 49 people and wounded at least 53 while pledging allegiance to ISIS. This incident, labeled as a terrorist attack, occurred at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando with over 300 patrons present. Mateen legally purchased a Glock pistol and a long gun (rumored to be an AR-15 style assault rifle) within the past two (2) weeks that are suspected to be the ones used in the assault. There was a three (3) hour standoff with law enforcement that culminated with eleven (11) Orlando police officers and three (3) Orange County sheriff’s deputies exchanging gunfire with Mateen resulting in his death.
