Update on the mass shooting at the Orlando Gay night club mass shooting in Florida. According to police, the gunman who has been identified as Omar Saddiqui Mateen, a U.S. citizen from Port St. Lucie, Florida, who was born to Afghan parents made a pledge to ISIS and had been under investigation by the FBI in regards to radical Islam in 2013 but the case was closed in 2014.
Mateen's father told NBC News, "This has nothing to do with religion." Adding that his son became angry after he saw 2 men kissing a few months ago in Miami, concluding that that could have triggered his decision to kill gay people at that club.
The NYPD denounced Mateen, stating that he has no association with the department, and that the shirts he was pictured in were unofficial outfits that could be bought at any store in the US.
