'''Omar Mir Seddique Mateen''' (November 16, 1986 - June 12, 2016) was a American mass murderer who [[2016 Orlando nightclub shooting|killed]] 49 people and injured 53 others in a gay 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 [[Jihad|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]].

At approximately 2:00 a.m. on June 12, 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 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 am, police shot and killed Mateen, ending the attack.
