Original Note:
FBI found no evidence that the attack occurred because of its gay clientele, U.S. law enforcement officials said. Call to News13 made no homophobic comments: “I’m the shooter. It’s me,” “I am the shooter.” “I did it for ISIS,” “I did it for the Islamic State.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/no-evidence-so-far-to-suggest-orlando-shooter-targeted-club-because-it-was-gay/2016/07/14/a7528674-4907-11e6-acbc-4d4870a079da_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/06/15/im-the-shooter-its-me-gunman-called-local-tv-station-during-attack-station-says/ https://archive.vn/59JVD#selection-3913.0-3913.119 https://archive.is/FNcow
