Orlando shooting: All but one victim identified, officials say
(CNN)Officials said Monday they have identified all but one of the 49 victims killed at a gay nightclub in Orlando in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said the next of kin of 24 victims of the rampage by gunman Omar Mateen had been notified. He spoke Monday at a press conference near the Pulse nightclub, the scene of the early Sunday massacre.
The number of victims was revised down to 49 from 50 as an earlier toll from officials had included the gunman, FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul Wysopal said.
As Americans mourned the worst terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, police investigated the gunman's ties to ISIS and examined whether others could have been involved.
People other than Mateen are being investigated in relation to the attack, U.S. Attorney Lee Bentley said, adding that he did not know if anyone else would be charged.
