Death doll from the mass shooting in a nightclub in the US city Orlando, had risen to 50. 
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified the shooter as Omar Saddiqui Matin, from Afghanistan decribing the shooting as a "terror incident." The F.B.I., which has taken over the investigation, say Matin may have had ties to radical terrorism. 
Another 53 people have been wounded after Matin armed with an automatic rifle and a hand gun started firing indiscriminately into the crowded nightspot in downtown Orlando, Florida at 2 a.m. local time Sunday morning. 
Matin, who police said was well-prepared, was killed in a shootout with police, said Orlando Police Chief John Mina. 
Mina said the death toll could rise as not all of the bodies had yet been removed from the club. 
Eyewitnesses initially told police that there was a second gunman at the scene. But Mina explained that the one gunman, Matin, left the bar and was confronted by a policeman outside. After shots were exchanged, the gunman reentered the nightclub to hold over 100 hostages.
