42 people shot and injured--20 dead in Orlando Mass shooting--FUCK! [View all]

Just confirmed via a press conference in Orlando.

I know this club well---many of my Gay friends frequent it...love it. My own daughter has been there several times.

Plus---my daughter works two doors down from the Plaza---the scene of the shooting of Christina Grimmie two nights ago.

Am I concerned for her safety? You bet.
