The gunman at Pulse nightclub in Orlando killed 50 and wounded 53 in the deadliest U.S. mass shooting. Officials say he pledged allegiance to Islamic State and the incident is treated as terrorism. Police stormed the club after hours, rescuing survivors as victims arrived at nearby hospitals.
A Cherryville woman, Sara Burgess, 30, was hit by a ricochet bullet at the Texas Roadhouse on Remount Road in Gastonia Friday night. Her husband Brian noticed bleeding from her leg as staff served a 6-ounce sirloin, and police said the incident could have been much worse.
Officials report at least 50 dead and 53 hospitalized, most in critical condition, with the death toll expected to rise. Omar Mateen of Port St. Lucie identified as the shooter, linked to Islamic State in a 911 call. Authorities debate domestic versus international terror. Mateen was a G4S employee since 2007. Orlando posts victim names on its site after families are notified.
