    Shots fired, attacker may have hostages, and may be armed with a bomb as well: BBC News

    It looks like 20 people have been rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center, which is nearby. Unfortunately, someone who is there and listening to the police radio says that the shooter is now locked inside the ORMC, and that the hospital is on lockdown. I don't know how accurate it is, because I realize in the confusion reports will fly everywhere, but I sincerely hope not, because that's blood chilling if true.

    Edit: Witnesses keep insisting on the club's FB page that there are two shooters, and that one of them is at ORMC, the other is in the club. Of course, with all of this going on, signals will get crossed and it may be unrelated, but either way this is terrible. :(

    The hospital is no longer on lockdown, according to several news sources. Orlando police created a controlled explosion to get into the club, and now shots are being fired. Eyewitnesses who also have access to a police scanner are saying an officer has been injured.

    Well, after the weekend's shooting of a young pop star, we now have yet another example of why America clearly needs MOAR GUNZ!!!!!! Still, I shouldn't say anything 'cause us foreigners clearly don't understand, ain't that right @oldfella1962 ....:dayton:

    Still, I'm sure @TheLonelySquire and @Dayton3 will be rejoicing at the death of plenty of disgusting, abnormal homosexuals, seeing as this will have sped up their journey into Hell. :garamet: :brood:

    There are reports that someone injured was hiding in a locked bathroom, and one person tweeted:

    What kind of idiot would type in ALL CAPS when hiding in the dark from a gunman?

    Police - "We can confirm this is a mass casualty situation. Support from local/state/federal agencies. We expect to brief media shortly" :sigh:

    I will never understand the capacity of others to be so evil.

    Apparently someone who doesn't know that typing in ALL CAPS is shouting.

    The Orlando Police just confirmed that the shooter is dead, and that it's a mass casualty event.

    It's gturner, I'm just surprised he didn't make it about transgenderism by querying if they were hiding in the "correct" bathroom.

    Glad they got the fucker but not looking forward to the usual back-and-forth gun arguments that accomplish precisely shit all except a few dozen more headstones and a lot of wasted fucking breath.

    Just the same usual tards living in denial that the cultural attitude towards guns in the US is abnormal and needs addressing, while the rest of the world looks on with increasing incredulity.

    By your own admission there are no evil people - only evil guns. I honestly don't know how the fuck Attila The Hun pulled it off without them.

    Um, when have I ever said that? Pathetic straw man. :unuts:

    I have always been consistent on this. I don't think it's the guns that are the problem. I think it is the American attitude towards guns that's the problem. Something your kind are too cowardly to face up to.

    The local Sheriff says this is a domestic terror incident. So that narrows it down to a bigot or a religious nut IMO.

    Address this: BTW stay out of gay Florida night clubs and you'll be sound as a pound old chap! And don't you gentle civilized folk get drunk and break glasses into each others faces in your nightclubs? You fuckers need to switch to plastic cups before you all blind each other! :lol:

    >> At 2 AM, police officer encountered assailant. Gunfire was exchanged, assailant ran inside nightclub.
    >> At 5 AM, police officers arrived on the scene in order to rescue hostages taken by assailant.
    Assailant carried assault rifle, handgun, and wore some kind of explosive device, with another device in his car.
    >> 9 officers involved in the incident, 1 officer was injured (eye injury, but saved by his helmet).
    >> The attack was pre-meditated, and thoroughly planned out by the assailant.

    Casualties: At least 42 wounded
    Fatalities: Approximately 20 dead as of this post. :(

    This is being classified as a domestic terrorism incident.

    Or, once again, guns jumped off the table and started firing indiscriminately. That's the real problem here in the US: magical demon possessed misbehaving guns.:(
    The framers of The Constitution should have seen this coming. :(

    Hell yes! Why does the US refuse to address the "domestic terrorism" issue? This doesn't happen in the rest of the civilized world you know!

    Godfucking dammit, can you shut the fuck up for a minute? Can you have one minute of decency, of respect, for the approximately 20 people who just died by this asshole's hands? Can anyone? Goddamn, you're like children playing in the blood of the wounded and dying. Fuck.

    How many innocent deaths is an acceptable trade-off for gun rights? What does it take to say enough is enough? We know it's not 20, so this incident will mean nothing. Do we need a mass shooting with a hundred deaths? Would a thousand make people realize there is a problem?

    How many DUI deaths before you put down your fucking beer? That number would be pretty close. Or how about the number of problems that contribute to death? Kids falling into swimming pools? One death is too many - why the fuck are we still swimming?

    475 died in mass shootings in the US last year. That's not enough. Kids getting mowed down isn't enough. I don't think anything will be enough, and that's why I say it's a problem of cultural attitude, not the guns themselves. I don't think that mild regulation is going to change that mentality, nor do I think that many in your country have the stomach for the self reflection it requires to have the debate.

    And yet this event obviously occurred because of the type of hate you and your kind spread. I guess that makes you a sinner....

    What hate are you referring to? This was apparently a Muslim who carried out this attack according to the news.

    Hate motivated by religious belief, namely the belief that homosexuality is wrong, as shared by all Abrahamic faiths, including yours.

    So you're blaming Christians for murderous Muslim actions? That's a stretch even for you El Chup.

    That's as ridiculous as you blaming the U.S. for Iranian actions thanks to a coup more than 60 years ago or the west for Islamic world actions due to the crusades half a millennia ago.

    A concealed weapon did indeed reduce casualties - an off duty cop had one and exchanged fire with the gunman, backing him into a bathroom, reducing casualties. Too bad the gays at the bar weren't the pink pistol variety.

    Also, I sure am glad that no one is rushing to blame this on Islamic Terrorism. I mean, Omar Mateen, born to Afghani parents doing this during the month of Ramadan is probably under influence from Baptists.

    There's no stretch as that's a straw man comment. I am not blaming Christians for this event per se. I am blaming religion, the concept of it and the ideas it promotes that leads to hate of, inter alia, gay people...a hate you yourself exhibit.

    Which I've never done. Another straw man. The only time I have spoken of that is in the context of pointing out why there is resentment towards the West and why the narrative of us being squeaky clean and them being the pure enemy is disingenuous.
    Again, another claim I've not made. :rolleyes:
