The FBI is investigating “all angles” of the way a mass shooter who opened fire on a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday morning could be connected to terror groups, an FBI official said in a news conference.
An FBI official was asked if the shooter, who killed approximately 20 people and wounded dozens of others, was connected to Jihadist terror groups.
“At this time we’re looking at all angles right now,” the official said, reported ABC News.
“We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings towards that, that particular ideology,” the official reportedly said. “But right now we can’t say definitively so we’re still running everything around.”
The FBI reportedly also said that the shooter was “organized and well-prepared” and that he is “not from this area.” The Associated Press reported that the shooter was armed with an assault-type rifle and a handgun. The shooter opened fire and held hostages before ultimately dying in a shootout with SWAT officers.
Obama, FBI and Homeland Security just refuse to admit that domestic terrorism, unconnected to anything like IS or international terrorists, are America’s major, huge terrorist threat, far worse than anything threatening us from international terrorists. Even when a terrorist attack is staged by the government / FBI, which is now routine, it’s always international terrorists the say, such is the state of the government’s liars and fear mongers. Same with NRA of course.
Some guy shoots a place up and automatically it’s Obama’s and the entire federal government’s fault? You’ve made some rather large assumptions, Omahhum.
And with words like “Major, huge terrorist threat” am I supposed to cower in fear becuz Obama?
edit
Seems to me that you are the fear monger amongst us.
Please excuse omahhum. It’s still early Sunday morning, and he hasn’t had his Prozac enema yet.
Misguided hate and understanding.
My thoughts and prayers for the victims. Whatever the reason, or what narrative emerges that becomes the talking point du jour, I am saddened by this loss.
