'''Omar Mir Seddique Mateen''' (November 16, 1986 – June 12, 2016) was an Afghan-American mass murderer who killed 49 people and injured 53 others at Pulse, an LGBT nightclub in Orlando Florida before being killed in a shootout against the police. Before the shooting, police had called the FBI to check him out due to him claiming he was a part of the radical jihadist organization [[The Islamic State|ISIS]] in 2013 and early 2014. Before the attack, Mateen was a respected security guard working at the bar. | |||
At the time, the shooting was the deadliest [[Mass Shooting|mass shooting]] in American history, but was surpassed by the Las Vegas shooting perpetrated by [[Stephen Paddock]] a year later. The attack was also the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in U.S. history, and the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. since [[9/11|September 11, 2001]]. He said the shooting was "triggered" by an airstrike in Iraq that killed [[Abu Waheeb]], an ISIS commander, six weeks before. | |||
At approximately 2:00 a.m. on June 12<sup>th</sup>, 2016, Mateen entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and began shooting. At 2:22 a.m., he made a 9-1-1 call in which he pledged allegiance to ISIS; referenced Boston Marathon bombers [[Tamerlan Tsarnaev|Tamerlan]] and [[Dzhokhar Tsarnaev]], and mentioned [[Moner Mohammad Abu Salha]], an acquaintance of his who died in a [[Suicide Bombing|suicide bombing]] in Syria for the [[Al-Nusra Front]] in 2014. According to FBI officials, Mateen made two other 911 calls during the shooting. He also called News 13 of Orlando and identified himself as the nightclub shooter; ''The Washington Post'' reported that “he had carried out the Pulse attack for the Islamic State”. Mateen took hostages after police arrived and engaged in a gunfight with him. At approximately 5:00 a.m., police shot and killed Mateen, ending the attack. | At approximately 2:00 a.m. on June 12<sup>th</sup>, 2016, Mateen entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and began shooting.
