Go to Drudge Report. Link to UK story in which states shooter called 911 and pledged allegiance to ISIS.

MSNBC also reporting he called 911 to pledge ISIS allegiance.

A another note, has President Obama made any statement condemning the attack yet?

-- A another note, has President Obama made any statement condemning the attack yet? --

Yes. He called for stricter gun control (for real), and called the action a "tragic shooting" in an early press release. I'm looking for the text of his remarks ... ahh, Remarks by the President on Mass Shooting in Orlando | whitehouse.gov

Although it's still early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate. ...

We've reached no definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer. The FBI is appropriately investigating this as an act of terrorism. And I've directed that we must spare no effort to determine what -- if any -- inspiration or association this killer may have had with terrorist groups. What is clear is that he was a person filled with hatred. ...

This is an especially heartbreaking day for all our friends -- our fellow Americans -- who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. ....

This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well. ....

Yes. Apparently easy access to guns is the problem
