Gunshots rang out at an Orlando, Fla., gay club, striking at least 20 people early Sunday, according to a WESH-TV report. A witness saw what appeared to be one assailant opening fire with a semi-automatic firearm inside the nightclub and another outside the south Orlando venue from a vehicle. “We were just leaving the club and we started hearing the shots,” clubber Anthony Torres told the Daily News. “Everyone was running and screaming.”

So the police can wait 3 hours while people are slaughtered?

San Jose, CA.

Wow. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, just said there are preliminary ISIS ties. He also said something amazing about how we all need to come together as Americans, not “hyphenated Americans.”

Like I posted earlier, one liberal protected class shoots up (with an "assault rifle!") another liberal protected class's hang out.

A liberal conundrum to be sure..

[combat_boots]

Gays ought to arm themselves.

WFTV9 reporter on scene said the shooter had 2 hand guns.
Casings from 3 different weapons were found.

Or perhaps they were from the other shooters a witness claimed he saw...

Fox reporting Mateen was subject to TWO terrorist investigations, the latest one in 2013; they were closed with no further action.

Yet Congress won’t stop Obama’s increased migrant policy, 100 a day. How many is that before he leaves office.

The kenyan’s goat is cooked. I imagine they are busy scrubbing the FBI files as I type.

Talker on MSNBC just stated the AR is the civilian version of the M16 and that it is an automatic weapon.

[cardinal4]

Liberals are obsessed with the AR..

[relee]

Talker on MSNBC just stated the AR is the civilian version of the M16 and that it is an automatic weapon.

I heard that but he also said he was not an arms expert, so MSNBC does broadcast the truth once in a while.

So the police can wait 3 hours while people are slaughtered?

Guest commentator on WFTV9 said from other shootings (Paris, Sandy Hook, etc.) they have learned that they cannot simply wait these situations out. The perp(s) will continue to shoot as long as they have ammo and opportunity.

Police were delayed because they didn't know exactly where the shooter or shooters were. As they got more info, they learned that people were hold up in the women's restroom. They went through the outer wall to reach them. The outside wall offered some protection due to its concrete construction.

They then went through the outside wall into the men's restroom and managed to save some, but engaged the shooter there.

Police had to be tactical. They couldn't just rush in and start shooting.

They were in negotiations with the shooter for a couple of hours. When negotiations seemed to break down, they mounted the attack.
