Pulse nightclub in downtown Orlando was the scene of what authorities are calling an act of terrorism. Fifty people are dead and another 53 people were taken to local hospitals after a “lone wolf” gunman opened fire while more than 300 people were packed inside for Latin night early Sunday morning.

FBI officials said Monday morning at a press conference that there are 49 victims killed. The suspect was killed, which brings the total number of deaths to 50. As of that news conference, 48 of the 49 deceased had been identified, but only 24 families have been notified.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina said in a Sunday news conference the gunman took clubgoers hostage starting around 2 a.m. The gunman, who police say is dead, was carrying an assault rifle, a handgun and was possibly wearing an explosive "device."
