Fifty people were killed inside Pulse, a gay nightclub, Orlando Police Chief John Mina and other officials said Sunday morning, just hours after a shooter opened fire in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.


At least 53 more people were injured, Mina said. Police have shot and killed the gunman, he told reporters.


"It's appears he was organized and well-prepared," the chief said, adding that the shooter had an assault-type weapon, a handgun and "some type of (other) device on him."


Officials warned that a lengthy investigation was ahead, given the number of victims and the scope of the violence. (CNN)

    There are only 2% Catholics in Israel. Your ignorance is showing. All know who you embrace and what you represent. Open you eyes and heart.

    Lawry Monday, 13 June 2016 12:48 PM

    Man you are being foolish. Which religion says killing is good, be it of gay or any other?. Minds have been polluted by mindless religious teachers.

    Maya Monday, 13 June 2016 11:17 AM

    The word Gay is used to refer both gender but same sex partners!

    Premalal Monday, 13 June 2016 10:57 AM

    Don't gloat. This act is absolutely inhuman and unjustifiable under any circumstances. We in Sri-Lanka can not be complacent. .

    Premalal Monday, 13 June 2016 10:53 AM

    There are gay women. They are called Lesbians.

    Dee Monday, 13 June 2016 10:38 AM

    Yes. Isis and their whole second generation should be wiped out.

    Thanos Monday, 13 June 2016 10:15 AM

    Ane modayo! It popular among the LGBT community. The term 'gay' is use rather loosely. If you want to get technical, it is popular among homosexual and transgender people.

    Jordan Monday, 13 June 2016 10:10 AM

    Dude, gay implies gay and lesbian both.

    My sympathies to the families but no sympathies to the US. When the LTTE was doing its business you only blamed the SL govt. So this blow-back for US middle-eastern policy. This is US crimes biting back.

    Simon Sunday, 12 June 2016 08:53 PM

    Sorry for the lives lost. Still the US will haul is before the UNHRC for killing terrorists.

    CitizenPerera Monday, 13 June 2016 12:07 AM

    How is this a "terror attack"? This is a hate crime for a gay or lesbian club to be attacked.

    Jagath Leanage Sunday, 12 June 2016 11:40 PM

    Gay night club? But we can see women also injured here. How come?
