Officials say this is a “lone wolf” attack. The suspect has not been identified. Orlando Police Chief John Mina says the gunman was organized, well prepared, and not from this area.

Authorities say its unclear whether Pulse was targeted because it was a gay nightclub. “We don’t know that that had any specific impact on the actions taken this evening, at least not yet,” said Ronald Hopper, FBI Assistant Special Agent In Charge.

Victims of the shooting were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center. Friends and family of those that may be injured are asked to reach out to ORMC. Facebook pushed a ‘safety check’ alert feature to those in Orlando.

If you believe an immediate family member may be in the hospital, please come to the main entrance of ORMC’s new north tower. ID required.
