ISIS maniac Omar Seddique Mateen, 29, fired indiscriminately inside gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida.
Fanatic Mateen called 911 to pledge allegiance to ISIS after opening fire at revellers, in an atrocity mirroring last November’s massacre at Paris’ Bataclan Theatre.
Attacker Omar Mateen, 29, was killed by police after a stand-off in the club.
President Obama called the tragedy “an act of terror and an act of hate”, while ISIS terrorists claimed responsibility for the horror.
US sources said security services were quizzing relatives of 29-year-old Muslim Mateen in London.
Mateen slaughtered 50 people with another 53 victims in hospital, some fighting for life.
He laughed and shouted as he sprayed the dance floor with bullets. Mobile phone footage from the scene recorded 24 shots in nine seconds.
Eddie's mum said they had spoken on the phone before her son was shot, she said: “I could hear a lot of people crying. He said, ‘He has us and he’s fixing to kill us’. That was it.”
Mateen had driven a van 118 miles from his home in Port St Lucie.
He phoned 911, pledging allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi and referring to the 2013 Boston bombing.
He then shot at the armed doorman and stormed inside Pulse just before closing time.
At 3am the club posted on Facebook: “Everyone get out of pulse and keep running.”
Two hours later a nine-strong SWAT team was sent in, triggering two explosions to distract him.
