http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/orlando-nightclub-shooting-multiple-injuries-pulse-lgbt-club-1564997 "A shooting is reported to have taken place at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning, with multiple people injured after a gunman opened fire on at least 100 people. The gunman is still active with reports saying that they had barricaded themselves inside Pulse Orlando nightclub with a number of hostages. Several victims were loaded into ambulances outside Pulse off Orange Avenue and Kaley Street, and a crisis negotiator is also at the scene according to NBC affiliate WESH. Orlando police are currently at the scene where differing reports are saying that at least 20-25 people have been injured. Pulse Orlando wrote on their Facebook page "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running". One local reporter tweeted that more than 20 people had been shot "with long gun" and that the suspect may be wearing a bomb. One social media users wrote that he was in the nightclub at the time of the shooting and that people were "screaming that people are dead". One person told Sky News that the shooting started around 2am: "People just dropped on the floor. I guess the shooter was shooting at the ceiling because you could see all the glass from the lamps falling." Ricardo Almodovar wrote on Pulse's Facebook page: "People on the dance floor and bar got down on the floor and some of us who were near the bar and back exit managed to go out through the outdoor area and just ran," " |

The gunman is dead. There was just a woman on talking about how her son's boyfriend was shot multiple times but she has no idea where her son is, someone else was talking about how he had to "climb over bodies" to get out, and another man who was close to the exit didn't see the shooting going on but heard it. At first he thought it was part of the song, apparently. Another man, when talking to a reporter, just kept repeating "you don't understand, you don't understand." Footage from a local hospital showed stretchers and ambulances and there are reports of about fifty or sixty police vehicles on the scene. I heard something about a nearby Dunkin Donuts and a Subway in the area but it doesn't sound like anything bad happened there. A controlled explosion happened a little over an hour ago. They're saying it might have been a device. I haven't heard anything concrete about that though. It seems like everyone's out of the club but there *might* be people in there, still (seems a little doubtful at the moment though since they haven't said anything about that in about an hour). Bomb squad was (is?) on the scene. This is pretty horrifying. I know people who go to this club. As far as I know, no one I know was there when it happened, thankfully. I've been following this since about ten minutes after it happened when someone involved with the club posted on Facebook telling everyone to get out and "keep running."

42 injured and "roughly twenty" dead inside of the club. 30+ hostages were rescued during the final confrontation with the gunman. 100-150+ were in the club at the time which means that from the sound of things, everyone involved was either killed, injured, or taken hostage. The situation is under control, multiple 'devices' (explosives) were found including one ON the suspect. They're not suspecting Islamic terrorism, it is NOT connected to the shooting of Christina Grimmie, and they're not yet saying it is a hate crime. It's likely that it WAS a hate crime. AH! Now they're saying there were up to 320 in the club at the time of the shooting which would mean that most people were NOT harmed - phew! This is terrible. |

There's a woman they keep showing who is just incredibly devastated. No one's telling anyone anything and a lot of people are still, almost six hours later, waiting to find out what's going on with their missing/injured loved ones. Hopefully this woman's son is alright and "just" injured in the hospital. :/ She's the one who can't find him but knows her son's boyfriend was severely injured. |

The death toll has climbed past fifty. This is unreal. I woke up to messages asking if I was safe because for some reason people thought I was in the area? Wtf.

Pretty crazy how this weekend I wake up to hearing about an innocent young girl getting shot at her own concert, then 20+ people dying and it's all in the same city. It never ends. It's awful no matter how much you look at it. Whether your famous, gay, straight, male, female, kid, it's a horrible circumstance. |

In my area, there was an attempt to coordinate a moment of silence with the one in the nearest pride parade. I'm not sure how successful it was. |

This is such sad news - my heart has broken for those who lost their lives in the nightclub. There was also a report of the young man who frantically called and texted his mother, saying that the terrorist was coming and that he was with them in the bathroom. As for the terrorist, I can't repeat what I'm thinking of. |

My mom is pretty bothered by the text message conversation between Eddie and his mother. It also makes me feel weird seeing a 30 year old man call his mother "mommy" because he's so terrified. Urgh. Then there's the snapchat (or Instagram?) video from a girl. She recorded it just moments before she was killed and you can see it on her face that she knows something's not quite right. And Christopher Leinonen and his boyfriend are both among the dead. That bothered me so much since his mother has been on the news multiple times begging for someone to tell her that he was okay or that they knew what happened. The poor woman waited like...a full day to find out what had happened and it almost sounds like she was one of the last immediate family members to get confirmation. |

I can't repeat the shit I overheard my mom saying on the phone the moment she heard the shooter was an ISIS sympathizer... and for the rest of the day. Fortunately, much of my Facebook feed was less hateful, and more supportive of the victims and survivors. I also live in Florida (Fort Lauderdale, though I used to live an hour from Orlando), and you didn't really feel it here as much, but it was all over the radio. Even the pop station had a guy on telling people what to do in the event that you get caught in a mass shooting. They were talking about how everybody says that the best thing to do is get a group together and bum-rush the guy, and why this never happens in real life (because it's suicide). I will say this, though: ISIS is basically the mirror image of the Western far-right, only with fewer people to stop them. The same day the Orlando shooting happened, police arrested a guy who was headed to Los Angeles to shoot up a pride parade -- a guy who, unlike the Orlando shooter, wasn't Muslim. They're peas in a pod as far as I'm concerned, and I'm not at all surprised to see the usual suspects in this country (the Westboro Baptists, et al.) either celebrating this or claiming it's a hoax. I think (or at least, I hope) that this is gonna be the moment that gets many conservatives who aren't part of the Christian Right, and even a few who are, fully on board with LGBT rights, a process that's already been moving along for about a decade. If nothing else, ISIS has basically poisoned the well when it comes to open homophobia in the US, at least for now. |

I don't know what sucks more; the people who are using this tragedy to say islamophpobic shit (the shooter wasn't even a muslim), the homophobes who are going to use this as a platform to hate us (because the shooter was likely gay and in the closet), or the religious assholes who are saying this was a punishment from god and we should be lined up and killed. |
