At least 50 people are dead, and 53 injured, after a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida last night.
CNN says this is the deadliest mass shooting in US history.
The shooting happened at 2am with a handgun and an AR-15 type automatic rifle.
CNN identified the gunman as Omar Mateen, born in Florida, though his parents are from Afghanistan.
There is obvious speculation as to what motivated the shooting. There is already speculation by the FBI that Mateen may have had leanings towards radical Islam.
Authorities are urging local to give blood, and if anyone attended the club before the shooting and left, they too are being asked to contact the police.
June is Pride month for the LGBT community.
