49 people killed by an Afghan-origin gunman in Orlando in the deadliest shooting in American history.

The White House and the FBI today said that the 29-year-old gunman, Omar Mateen, appeared to be a 'homegrown extremist' who had touted support not just for the Islamic State, but other radical groups that are its enemies.

Meanwhile,  last night, just about a mile from the club Pulse in downtown Orlando, thousands gathered for a vigil to support the victims and survivors. The names of the dead were read aloud.

It was held on the lawn of Orlando's main performing arts venue, where mourners created a makeshift memorial of flowers, candles and notes for the victims.
