ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The FBI is investigating reports that Orlando gunman Omar Mateen had been a regular at the gay nightclub he attacked and had used gay dating apps, a U.S. official briefed on the case said Tuesday.
A number of possible explanations and motives for the bloodbath that left 49 victims dead have emerged, with Mateen professing allegiance to the Islamic State group, his ex-wife saying he was mentally ill, and his father suggesting he was driven by hatred of gays.
BOSTON – After the massacre of 49 people at a gay club in Orlando, Florida, early Sunday, Bostonians gathered in solidarity to mourn the victims, including 53 wounded in what has been described as the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
