The flowers, the photos, the mementos that have been left at this growing vigil. This is a city, this is a country in mourning. This investigation is now in its seconds day and theres still many questions that need to be answered. The last of the remaining bodies of the deceased were removed from the pulse nightclub this morning. Fbi agents and other Law Enforcement then began reconstructing omar mateens movements during his killing spree. They know he opened fire on the main dancing stage and then took hostages in a bathroom. Finally Orlando Police chief john mina decided to blast an exterior wall when loss of further life was imminent. We used our Armored Vehicle, the bear cat Armored Vehicle to punch a hole in that wall and defeat the wall so theres a local in the wall about 2 feet off the ground. Reporter authorities dont believe mateen was working with anyone who still may put the public at risk but they are investigating others and they will be prosecuted. Investigators know mateen was homophobic and radicalized a bit through the internet but fbi director james comey says theres confusion about motive. When mateen pleaded allegiance to isis in phone calls to 911 dispatch during the attack, he also mentioned terrorist bombers with no isis affiliation. Ly like the president , comey refrained from naming mateen. Part of what motivates sick people to do this kind of thing is some twisted notion of fame or glory and i dont want to be part of that for the sake of the victims and their families. Reporter this is a city that is struggling to cope with the tragedy. There are growing vigils banners of expression and a range of emotions from anger to despair.

Reporter well, rick, thats right at 6 30 there will be a candlelight vigil here on the north side of city hall, a chance for the city to come together, a show of solidarity in the aftermath of the massacre in orlando. Earlier today, we were there as representatives from various religions and the Lgbt Community came together to condemn the attack, to call for an tend to such hatred. Outside arch Street United Methodist Church 50 empty seats are assembled around a long table its a stark representation of the 49 People Killed in orlando by one person who as the church says was twisted with hate. The pastor was among a collection of faith and lgbt leaders who came together today to send a clear message about the massacre in orlando and what should happen in the aftermath of yet another mass killing in this country. I stand here in solidarity and in sadness but in defines to any violence that comes from hatred to say that love, the love of humanity will overcome all violence. As american muslims, support the statement of our president. We condemn the senseless violence committed by the individual. We extend our condolences to the families of those lives that were lost in this violent incident. Reporter mark siegel publisher of the philadelphia gay news warned against using the massacre to further a political message calling out donald trump specifically.

They all intend to take part in that candlelight vigil set for city hall here at 6 30 tonight. Of course they will be joined by members of their respective communities. Live in center city, im Sarah Bloomquist channel6 action news. Thank you, sarah. With yesterdays attack on ton of the mind one of the Big Questions is how do we stop it from happening again . Action news spoke with a former Homeland Security security official today about omar mateen and any signs that he was capable of committing such heinous crimes. Both his exwife and coworkers described mateen as toxic and conflicted. According to experts that made him a perfect target for radicalization. These are people that are that are highly recruitable by organizations like isis, by even the organizations historically like the nazi party. Looking for those true believers, looking for those people that if you join us, we will recognize your genius. Experts stress the importance of reporting any suspicious activities to authorities. They say their initial role is not to make arrests but rather to try to help a person with social services first. The massacre in orlando has left many of us of course feeling fearful or hopeless. That can includes your children. Psychologist elizabeth gosh says parents should not mention the attack to children underage five unless they bring it up. For children over five years old, parents should discuss it but in simple terms with no graphic details. You should also do it calmly, reassuring your kids that they are sane loved. Teens may also get graphic details about it on social media so the doctor says they need some balance. Such as people helping other people, people caring about what happened, people trying to make the world a safer place so that these kinds of things dont happen. And how they can become involved in that. She says the flood of blood donors in orlando is one example that shows that good can come out of this trap defect stay with action news throughout the evening for more on the shooting. Well have crews at local vigils that are happening tonight here to honor the victims. Were also working to learn more about those from our area who are affected by this attack.

And if you have afib an irregular heartbeat that may put you at five times greater risk of stroke they can pool together in the heart, forming a clot that can break free, and travel upstream to the brain where it can block blood flow and cause a stroke. But if you have afib thats not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa can help stop clots from forming. Pradaxa was better than warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke, in a Clinical Trial without the need for regular blood tests. And, in the rare event of an emergency, pradaxa is the only oral blood thinner other than warfarin with a specific reversal treatment to help your body clot normally again. Pradaxa is not for people who have had a heart valve replacement. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. Stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. Ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before any planned medical or dental procedure. Pradaxa can cause serious, and sometimes, fatal bleeding. Dont take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding.

Pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if youre 75 or older, have kidney problems, stomach ulcers, a bleeding condition, or take certain medicines. Side effects with pradaxa can include indigestion, stomach pain, upset or burning.

She was to attend mercyhurst the college on a full basketball scholarship in the fall. Of the 53 people injured in the shooting 29 still remain in the hospital. Six underwent surgery today.

Presumptive nominees Hillary Clinton and donald trump made changes to their schedules this week and both addressed the massacre during speeches today. However, the candidates are taking different approaches to tackling the problem. Hillary clinton told supporters today that as president she will make identifying and stopping lone wolves a top priority. She wants to create a cooperative network that identifies potential threats. Clinton also wants to significantly strengthen gun laws saying guns of war have noplace on the streets. If the fbi is watching you for suspected terrorist links, you shouldnt be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked. Meanwhile the Presumptive Republican nominee donald trump took a much more critical tone. He repeated his call to ban muslims from coming into the united states. We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country, many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer. The only reason the killer was in america in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here. Trump accused the democratic establishment of being weak when it comes to tackling terroristic threats. Hillary clinton says trumps antimuslim rhetoric is dangerous and will not lead to healing and both seemed to disagree on their stance when it can comes to gun legislation. Well, a democratic senator from connecticut says he is fed up with the lack of gun control in the united states.
