ISIS fanatic died in a hail of bullets as he burst through hole in the wall made by cops(T)

ISIS maniac Omar Seddique Mateen, 29, fired indiscriminately inside gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida after shooting the doorman dead early Sunday morning.

Police used explosives and a BearCat armoured vehicle to smash a hole in the wall, allowing some trapped clubbers to escape.

Mateen emerged from the hole shooting moments later and was shot dead by a team of "eight or nine" officers.

The killer is thought to have been armed with the same gun used by the Sandy Hook school shooter.

The AR-15 semi-automatic rifle has left dozens dead in multiple shootings this decade, calls for a nationwide ban have been ignored.

Isis maniac? Moose-limbs had nothing to do with it apparently.

Eight or nine officers. How many rounds?

The same gun used at Sandy Hook? I thought that was in police custody.

Calls for a nationwide ban have been ignored? No, they haven't been ignored. In a lot of cased they've been defeated because.................Constitution. Despite the push by every swinging uh, can't-idate on the lib side of the issue.

Brit reporters. What don't they know?

Take the number of time he was hit. Multiply by 20.

Sadly, the FBI crime stats for 2016 rifle homicides will increase greatly, followed by a precipitous drop in 2017.

Libs will crow in 2018 how some minor gun legislation resulted in 30% fewer gun deaths by rifles.

I’m surprised with that many officers, firing as fast as they were, they were able to recognize who the person was...

UK SUN...really???

Yes, they are probably Brit reporters and a Brit news source, but please tell me where any US oriented propaganda outlet says anything remotely as extensive as that coming out of Brit sources?

US Media is in charge of regulating truth and news according to Administration wishes. Brit papers are in it to get the most out the fastest.

“The AR-15 semi-automatic rifle has left dozens dead in multiple shootings this decade . . .”

And every Boy Scout’s semi-auto squirrel rifle is just as lethal.

Is it too early to ask this question?

Why did it take the Police 3 hours to take him down?

3 Hours is an eternity for a hostage.

Anybody?

No, a gun did not leave dozens dead in multiple shootings this decade. Muslim or Liberal Fanatics did.

LIBERALS AND MSM, REPEAT AFTER ME:

GUNS DID NOT KILL THESE PEOPLE. LIBERALS FANATICS AND MUSLIMS KILLED THESE PEOPLE.

Paris has very stringent semiautomatic rifle restrictions for civilians.

So the terrorists just got full-auto instead.

Curious how many of the dead are "friendly-fire" victims.
There was once way in and out of the nightclub that was being blocked by the shooter. Other doors were padlocked.
Once the armored vehicle punched the hole in the wall, one must assume some of the nightclub patrons were running out of it as well.

They may or may not have known exactly who he was or what he looked like, but when he came out of the hole in the wall and shot at them, they had a pretty good idea he was the one causing the problem.

“armed with the same gun”

Did the police sell that particular Sandy Hook gun?

Gee. It would be relatively easy to get the same TYPE of gun, but the exact same gun actually used at Sandy Hook?

What are the odds?

Agreed. The foreign press was way ahead in calling it like it was. Meanwhile the pc msm here in the U.S. was parsing their reporting so as not to offend anyone. Wimps. Maybe they were busy gearing up for the anti-gun rhetoric that followed. Or waiting on direction from gal pal val.

there is audio of the shootout on weaselzippers.us. To me, sounds like 100 rounds or so in 15 seconds.

You have to scroll down. It’s about halfway.

All I have to go on is the news media twits, so take it for what it’s worth...

They had to use the ‘bear cat’ because they couldn’t get near the door, the shooter was standing there, that’s why the people couldn’t get out...so they created a hole with the bear cat, and the shooter came out and that is when they killed him...

The shooter had either killed the police officer that was there or one report said he had a helmet on and was saved and called for back up...

It takes about three hours to assemble, brief, and deploy a swat team.

I thought the Sandy hook shooter used hand guns even though he had the AR in his trunk
