Orlando Shooting Analysis
Orlando Shooting
Introduction
The Orlando shooting was one of the worst mass shootings in US history since September 11. On June 12, 2016, club pulse, a gay night club in Orlando, Florida, took a turn for the worst when a gunman, who was identified as Omar Mateen, came in and began to open fire leaving 50 people dead and 53 people wounded. I chose this article because it happened within an hour of my hometown and could have easily been one my friends or family members. I also chose this article because with all the craziness going on in the world today you just never know what may happen and it’s sad that people can’t go out and have a good time without being judged or discriminated against because of their sexual preference or how they look.

My article relates to multiple chapters in the book. One being chapter one on the psychodynamic approach. The psychodynamic approach deals with impulses buried deep within the unconscious mind and how early childhood family experiences shape an individual’s personality. …show more content…
First, when the second wife, Noor Salman drove him to the nightclub prior to the shooting because Mateen wanted to “scope out the place” it should have sent a lightbulb off in her head that he was up to something. She then went with Mateen to buy ammunition and warned him against anything he might be planning when she should have told the police. Second, when a salesperson at a gun shop contacted the FBI because he became suspicious of Mateen wanting to purchase body armor and 1,000 rounds of bulk ammunition, feds should have took the call more serious and investigated instead of claiming they had no record of the report. Last, nightclubs are known for having security at the entry ways. You usually have to show your Id and even get patted down in most cases. What confuses me is how he got past security with an AR-15 assault rifle in the first place.
