In three hours time Mateen shot and killed 49 people and wounded another 58 with a SIG Sauer MCX semi-automatic rifle and a 9mm Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol during a 'Latin Night'. At 2:45 a.m., Mateen called News 13 of Orlando and said "I'm the shooter. It's me. I am the shooter." He then said he was carrying out the shooting on the behalf of ISIS and began speaking rapidly in Arabic.
