The Pulse Nightclub Shooting | #454

When Omar Mateen stepped into Orlando’s Pulse nightclub and fired into the crowd, 10 years ago this week, it was the start of three hours of unimaginable terror for the city’s gay community. The Islamic State claimed responsibility. The FBI rushed to explain it. The media searched for answers.

But as investigators uncovered Mateen’s history, the picture only got more complicated. There were zero clear ties to any terrorist groups. And then, reports emerged that he had been a regular at the club, flirting and dancing with patrons, going back years. Whatever the 2016 Pulse attack was – devastating, senseless, heartbreaking, profound – it was not simple.

On the 10th anniversary of the Pulse shooting, Hannah and Suruthi revisit the tragedy, and ask what really drove one of the deadliest attacks in modern American history.
