Orlando, Florida.
Not to be outdone by the nut who took an innocent girl’s life in Orlando just one day ago, Saturday night, after merely finishing her labor of love and dreams for a crowd of fans, less than 24 hours later, another nut created a nightmare for a crowd of party-goers in an Orlando gay club killing 50 people early this uneasy-like Sunday morning.
Described as a “domestic terror incident” after having killed 50 and possibly 53 injured, officials are calling this “incident” the worst mass shooting in U.S history and the deadliest attack on U.S soil since 9/11.

Although not the target of any specific investigation, officials tell ABC News that Mateen was “on the radar” of U.S official’s list.
