I have nothing intelligent to say. There is nothing intelligent about this. But this is the place for the news.
I'll let everyone else provide it. I've read too much.

I wonder why the earlier reports were so much lower, though obviously still horrible.

They hadn't yet gone through all of the nightclub and confirmed the body count when the 20 number first came out, and once they finally cleared the scene and started really going through the club they realized there were more bodies than they initially thought.

I am guessing that any further increase in the death toll will come from later deaths from the wounded that were taken to ORMC.

So evidently the asshole called 911 and pledged allegiance to ISIS moments before he went in and shot up the club.

EDIT: To address Mili's question; ORMC is huge and was just a couple blocks away (one of my wife's former foot doctors had an office one building down from the club), plus Florida Hospital has a main hospital on the north side of Downtown roughly a mile or two away. I'm not sure if they split the victims between the two or handled them all at ORMC, but from others who have partners/friends that work at ORMC and other area hospitals it sounds like they got them all in and going through emergency operation procedures fairly quick. It sounds like the sudden need of large amounts of blood is possibly the biggest issue. Thankfully the local blood banks are being overwhelmed with donors and are having to turn people away to come back over the next few days.
