    Shooting overnight. Shooter dead. This is not The Voice incident from Friday night.

    What is in the water in Orlando?

    Hate crime? Appears to be a gay night club. Horrifying. As was the killing of the singer. Unthinkable.

    Is anyone dead except the gunman? I hope not. I'm trying to be optimistic because it seems that would be reported by now. I'm just seeing "injured taken."

    Police chief just said multiple people dead inside. 42 people transported to hospital. Jesus.

    20-30 shots fired, no way there wasn't many killed.

    CNN. Chief just said about 20 dead. Still clearing the scene. Sounds like it could be terrorism, per FBI at news conference.

    Thanks for the updates. I'm at my desk working right now so I'm not in front of a TV.

    A friend lives in Orlando. Her husband is a cop. She said up to 20 are dead.
