Here we go again:

Approximately 20 people are dead inside Pulse nightclub, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said Sunday morning, just hours after a shooter opened fire in the club. At least 42 people have been transported for medical treatment, he said.

Police have shot and killed the gunman, Mina told reporters.

Pulse is a gay bar, but without further information we don’t know if that was relevant in the gunman’s choice to target it. As usual in mass shooting situations, expect conflicting reports and changing casualty counts.
