There is an early suggestion that the shooter might have ties to radical Islam, according to multiple network reports, including CNN.

“We do have suggestions that the individual may have leanings towards that particular ideology, FBI Assistant Special Agent In Charge, Ronald Hopper, told reporters.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina confirmed that approximately 20 victims were killed and 42 in total were transported to area hospitals.
“It’s appears he was organized and well-prepared,” Mina said.
FBI said there are “suggestions” that terrorist “may have leanings toward” radical Islam but not definitive yet

@jaketapper Local police making that disclosure prematurely I can understand. FBI making it? I think they’ve got good reason.

@Imm_listening It bugs me some outlets sanitize news to omit facts that some find uncomfortable.

@jaketapper POTUS will wake up around 9am and make FBI walk that back. Wanna bet?
