Deze man - Omar Mateen - schoot vannacht meer dan 50 mensen dood in een homoclub in Orlando!

Dit is Omar Mateen, volgens betrouwbare bronnen een 29-jarige radicale moslim die vannacht meer dan 50 mensen heeft doodgeschoten in een homoclub in Orlando, een stad in Amerika. De schietpartij vond plaats in 02:00 en Omar Mateen is zelf doodgeschoten om nog ergere toestanden te voorkomen. Omar hield een aantal mensen gegijzeld.

He's an American citizen and he has family that are not -- his parents are Afghan. Authorities say he was a terrorist and was targeting gays. They say in addition to terrorism this is a hate crime.

Authorities also believe he is part of the radical Islam movement, although they do not know if it was an organized attack or if he was a lone wolf. Authorities also believe Mateen specifically targeted a gay club.

Mateen's father told NBC News, "This has nothing to do with religion." He says his son became angry after seeing 2 men kissing a few months ago in Miami, and he speculates that could have triggered his decision to kill.

Law enforcement says Mateen was well prepared, with an assault weapon, a handgun and 2 suspicious devices.

50 people were murdered and another 53 injured inside Pulse nightclub in Orlando. It's the biggest slaughter at the hands of a gunman in American history.
