6. 2016 Orlando Nightclub Shooting

Deaths: 49

The 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting took place on June 12, when Omar Mateen killed 49 people and injured 58 others during an attack inside Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Most of the victims were Latinos, given that Pulse was hosting a “Latin Night”. Mateen swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State. The shooting at Pulse was the deadliest mass shooting carried out by a single gunman in U.S history until yesterday’s shooting in Las Vegas and is the deadliest attack targeting the LGBT community.
