My bet is there was more than one shooter but that information hasn't been released yet. In my mind there were too many injured or killed not to have multiple shooters involved. Just my $0.02.

After today, it's all historical.
It's possible there was more than one shooter.
Others have already mentioned the large number of people packed together means there are few misses and multiple casualties per round.
Another factor is the time involved before the wounded could receive medical attention; a number of relatively 'minor' wounds probably bled out.
Also take into account those who were trampled to death in initial panic will be counted as casualties even though there were no gunshot wounds involved with their demise.
Bad situation all the way around, especially for an election year.
Prices will skyrocket again...next gun show should be interesting.
Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murderer in Orlando early Sunday morning. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.”

The Father of the Orlando Shooting Suspect Hosted an Obscure TV Show
Mateen—who lives in Florida, according to public records—hosted the show, called “Durand Jirga,” on a U.S.-based Afghan satellite, Reuters reports. The show has partially focused on the Durand Line, a disputed piece of land on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In some of the videos, Matteen expresses support for the Afghan Taliban and criticizes Pakistan.
“Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in [the] Taliban movement and national Afghan Taliban are rising up,” he said in one video, according to the Post. “Inshallah the Durand Line issue will be solved soon.”

I heard that as I guessed there was only one entrance and exit point to the club. A text of a vicitm who was hiding in a Mens room stated "OMG he's coming I'm going to die". Sent the message to his mother. He did indeed die.
He also had about 3 hours in the club with hostages before the police arrived. As Nobeard stated, it is not unreasonable to think that people with injuries that should have been treatable immediately died in the time it took to get them help. There has also been nothing I have seen that says what the guy did during those 3 hours. Something tells me that negotiating was not high on his list of things to do. I expect he was positioning this hostages for easier execution at the time of the attack that he had to know was coming.

The police said early on that they set off an explosive to distract the terrorist and I heard this morning that a device was also used to breach the wall for SWAT to enter, those may have been the same thing. If so, there was a second explosion discussed by police to disable an unknown device, thought to be an explosive vest, that the terrorist either had or was wearing. Would any of these account for what you saw?

This was in Orlando right? How often does a mass shooting take place in a bar and the cops arrive 3 hours after the shooting starts?
Anyway the opportunists are lined up and telling us what has to be done;

"What I have said is precisely what you suggested, which is, why don’t we treat this like every other thing that we use? I just came from a meeting today in the Situation Room in which I got people who we know have been on ISIL Web sites, living here in the United States, U.S. citizens, and we’re allowed to put them on the no-fly list when it comes to airlines, but because of the National Rifle Association, I cannot prohibit those people from buying a gun.
This is somebody who is a known ISIL sympathizer. And if he wants to walk into a gun store or a gun show right now and buy as much — as many weapons and ammo as he can, nothing’s prohibiting him from doing that, even though the FBI knows who that person is."

When abolishing the 2nd amendment doesn't stop terrorism they'll go after the rest of the bill of rights untill America is sharia compliant.

The police response time has not been reported, when SWAT breached the building was 3 hours after the shooting started.
It is not the NRA that is stopping him but the Constitution itself. It is telling that he does not, or that he just ignores, that the Constitution (and there are a couple of Amendments that are applicable) does this.0bama said 10 days ago......

If the fbi knows someone has ties to isis why aren't they arrested instead of allowed to run around and buy guns? Because dhs/fbi is assisting in the 0bama takedown of America. This guy called the police to tell them he supports isis as he was shooting up the place, dhs/fbi already knew who he was. They allowed him to walk free amongst us because they knew what he was going to do, they let him and I'd put money on it they were watching the whole time, wich makes me think they held off an assault for three hours to maximise his kill ratio before they eliminated him. This is to provide the excuse for the no buy list, and you know who will be in control of who goes on the no buy list.
