LAST HOUR GAYLES.TV.- Some media have identified an American citizen of Afghan origin as the perpetrator of the attack on a gay scene in the city of Orlando, Florida, which It has claimed the lives of 50 people and injured other 53, some of which have been in critical condition. Although the FBI has not yet confirmed the data, it appears to be Omar Mateen of 29 years He has also been shot down by police when he had barricaded himself with hostages inside the premises.
They were the 2 of the dawn, Orlando celebrated the PRIDE and the place was very crowded, especially by Cuban population since the Latin night was celebrated. According to some witnesses, the shooting has begun outside the environment club PULSE, one of the most frequented by the gay community of the city, later the attacker has begun to shoot bursts inside the premises towards the dance floor and the bar until the police intervention has ended his life.
According to police sources, the assailant was armed with a pistol, an AR-15 rifle and several explosives. There are many hypotheses that are shuffled about the motive of the assailant to perpetrate what is considered the biggest slaughter in American territory since the 11S. Precisely one of the first has been that it was a terrorist attack for ideological reasons. In that sense Danny Banks, responsible for the investigation, has stated: "Whether domestic or international terrorism, this is an aspect that we consider above any other hypothesis".
The father of the assailant has subsequently made a statement to the NBC television network that would point more in the line of a homophobic attack, since apparently a couple of months ago Omar Mateen would have witnessed, as he walked with his wife and son, as two men were kissing in the mouth and this fact had provoked an exaggeratedly violent repulsion reaction. It is precisely on her violent nature that an ex-wife of Omar has declared that Mateen was a very violent and unstable person who would have beaten her many times while they were married. He also said that he was not very religious even though within a few months of the wedding he established links with radical Islamist movements.
The FBI has called for citizen collaboration to provide any information related to the assault. For this same afternoon an appearance by President Obama is expected to make statements about the events.
The last hurried message on the site's Facebook page is scary: "Let the whole world come out, let the whole world run."
