Omar Mir Seddique Mateen has been named as the gunman who killed 50 people and wounded 53 others at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.


He was later killed by police after taking hostages at the LGBT club. The shooting, carried out with an AR-15 rifle and a handgun, is the deadliest in American history.


Mateen, 29, is a U.S. citizen of Afghani descent from Port St. Lucie, Florida. He has ties to radical Islamic ideology. His name was confirmed by Congressman Alan Grayson at a press conference.


Port St. Lucie is about 125 miles away from Orlando.


Police have not yet said why Mateen attacked the Pulse club. His father told MSNBC that the shooting was not about his son’s religion, but that his son became very angry after seeing two men kissing in Miami months ago. He said “we are apologizing for the whole incident.”


“We are saying we are apologizing for the whole incident. We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country,” Mir Seddique, his father said.


Mateen worked as a security guard and drove to Orlando to carry out the attack.
