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.
