Forty-nine people are dead, along with the shooter, and at least five are in grave condition, as the White House, the FBI and all Americans try to understand Sunday's early morning events in Orlando. The Pulse club, a well-known gathering spot for the LGBT community, was attacked by a gunman, who'd been investigated for radicalism two years ago. The FBI has told the President that the shooter acted alone. But was he "radicalized" by the Internet propaganda posted by the Islamic State? We hear about the shooter — and his victims — as well as the ongoing investigation. We also hear the very different reactions of presidential candidates Clinton and Trump.
