OT: Orlando night club shot up, with hostages

20+ shot in #Orlando night club. Shooter is inside with hostages and has a bomb.

Bomb squad on the scene in #Orlando. Could be a precaution although people at Pulse claimed shooter had bomb.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Man, what is going on here lately?

I hope everybody is okay. I know some old co-workers that frequent there so I hope all of my friends are okay as well.

Yeah this is terrible. If the reports are true about there being hostages, then I hope OPD can get everyone out safely.

This has been a terrible weekend.

First, a young singer gets shot for living her life and the next night we get a mass shooting with what now is being reported with Mass casualties.

Canada has a lot of guns too but there is something about the culture in this country that desperately needs to change.

This gun violence is out of control in this country and we have got to figure out a way to correct this horrible culture we have right now.

With Trump as your leader it will get better. Everyone should be granted a gun to avoid stuff like this and show us europeans how protecting yourself works

My thoughts are with Central Florida. It has been a rough weekend indeed.

Woke up to this, immediately called around to make sure friends I know that attend were not there. Prayers go out to the victims and their friends and families.

I woke up to this at about 3 am mountain time. There is something about this mass killing incident that stings so damn much. I think it's the realization that America is sick. We are dying. Both collectively and individually. Forget about your political agenda for a second, it's much deeper than that, imo.

TWENTY?!? HOW ARE WE (the US) OKAY WITH THIS?!?

I would say that it's time to move but it looks like it would have to be out of this country. Two nights in a row for Orlando.

RIP victims.

With so many deaths and injuries already reported, I can't hope everyone is okay... because they aren't. I just hope everyone affected by this horrible event receives the care they need.

Damn, on both sides of me, I live right in between both shootings. Orange avenue is still on lockdown and all the sides streets for up to a mile away.

Bad weekend for Orlando. People are crazy, why is this happening more and more.

Saw on the fb comments someone said the shooter had Islamic ties. Not most reliable source though.

CNN Update: 50 dead, 53 injured.

WTF is wrong with people?
