A suspected Islamic terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 50 people and wounding another 53 before he was killed by police. While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack. This comes three days after ISIS announced they would attack somewhere in Florida. Today's attack marks the largest act of terrorism on US soil since 9/11.

takyon: The gunman reportedly called 911 emergency services to pledge allegiance to ISIS. The President will hold a briefing momentarily. Compare this article to the original submission.

  Possibly across the room. Not likely within easy range to put two in his chest and one in his head. .22s aside, guns are damned loud.

  That was the report anyway. No reports of him yelling anything, so no evidence there for your assumption.

    It was mentioned further up in the comments that he was yelling it. I'm not going to fact check for a hypothetical situation though; it's irrelevant.

      So I'll assume that was all hypothetical along with the claim that this had anything to do with Islam.

        The hypothetical bit was "if everyone were armed". Try and keep up.
