On June 12, 2016, a 29-year-old security guard, killed 49 people and wounded 53 others in a terrorist attack/hate crime inside Pulse, a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He was shot and killed by police after a three-hour standoff. It was the deadliest mass shooting by a single shooter in United States history.
