The ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the shooting in an official broadcast on its Albayan Radio.
“One of the Caliphate’s soldiers in America carried out a security invasion where he was able to enter a crusader gathering at a nightclub for homosexuals in Orlando, Florida … where he killed and injured more than a hundred of them before he was killed,” the terrorist group said in its broadcast, Reuters reported.
A man armed with an assault rifle and pledging loyalty to ISIS killed 50 people during a celebration at Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando early on Sunday June 12 in the deadliest mass shooting in US history.
