Trump tweets: ‘Really bad shooting in Orlando’

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump took to Twitter early Sunday after approximately 50 people were killed and more than 50 others were wounded in an attack at an Orlando, Fla., nightclub.

“Really bad shooting in Orlando,” the candidate tweeted.

“Police investigating possible terrorism. Many people dead and wounded.”

{mosads}About two hours after his initial tweet, he posted a message attacking an ad attacking him. 

Clinton made a false ad about me where I was imitating a reporter GROVELING after he changed his story. I would NEVER mock disabled. Shame!

He pivoted back to the nightclub shooting as the death toll climbed.

Horrific incident in FL. Praying for all the victims & their families. When will this stop? When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?

The shooting at the Pulse nightclub is currently being characterized as an act of domestic terrorism. The suspect, who was killed inside the gay bar and dance club during a shootout with police, had an assault-style rifle, a handgun and “some type of device.” 

The man was “organized and well-prepared,” Orlando Police Chief John Mina said. 

An agent from the FBI’s Orlando field office said there are “suggestions” the suspect may have “leanings” toward radical Islamic ideology.
