United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida Lee Bentley described Sunday's mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando as "the most horrific day in the history of Orlando," during a press conference from the city on Monday.
"It was the day of the largest mass shooting in the history of the United States, a terrible tragedy," he added.
Fifty people were killed, including the gunman, and 53 injured in a shooting at the LGBT nightclub 'Pulse' in Orlando on Sunday, with Mayor Buddy Dyer confirming the numbers during a press briefing later in the day. The shooting is the deadliest attack in the US since 9/11.
Omar Siddiqui Mateen, a US citizen of Afghan descent living in Port St. Lucie, has been identified as the culprit. He was killed during the SWAT operation at the club.
Mateen reportedly claimed links to the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) before carrying out the attack, but officials have stated that the militant group's relations with the individual could be tenuous.
