then he hung up. then the dispatcher called him back again and they spoke briefly. so there are three total calls. during the calls he said he was doing this for the leader of isil, who he named. and pledged loyalty to. lisa: oddly, comey said, mateen claimed solidarity with several extreme organizations some of whom are enemies of isil. >> we can highly confident he was radicalized and some part through the internet. lisa: they are reconstructing his electronic devices. it's reported that the f.b.i. is investigating whether mateen was potentially targeting disney world. he pleaded with americans not to be paralyzed by fear and to channel anxiety in awareness. he said in every f.b.i. case, someone always sees something they should have told them but didn't. as of a few minutes ago, 43 people are still

attack, even before all the victims were identified, heartache transformed to heated debate with back and forth on cable channels and social media over gun control, homophobia and terrorism. >> we need to address the issues at hand. we can't just be passive. mike: but for now as we learn their names and see the faces, many say this tragedy makes them realize it's a small world. and the gay community is even smaller. >> i knew friends that knew people that were there. it was incredible to see how much of an impact that makes, the ripple effect of people's lives. >> so much of the celebration to commemorate those who were lost. mike: gay or straight, there is a common reaction. this is an attack on all of us. >> just because it's a gay bar doesn't mean there are only gay people there. mike: we welcome you to come down and sign the banner here at dupont circle. it will be here until 6:00 tonight. we will send it to orlando. you can see other

style rifle. both purchased legally under federal and florida law last week. facts which tonight are again fueling debate about the availability of guns, especially high-capacity assault style rifles. >> they should absolutely be banned. there is no reason that anybody should have an assault weapon at all. brad: the divide is stark. some believing the second amendment guarantees the right to own guns of any sort. others in favor of an outright ban. >> this is a crazy world. you know, like i should be able to protect myself against a group of people coming to rob me. or some crazy guy about to stab me. brad: assault rifles were bannehid for several years ending in 2004. they are currently illegal in d.c. and maryland but not virginia. the orlando tragedy prompting calls tonight to reinstate that federal ban. >> i think it isr

ban on guns. i don't understand how it can continue to happen. brad: when we come back at 6:00, we have more on the subject and you will hear from one of the most passionate defender of guns in the area and he says to talk about guns is a distraction from the real problems. in silver springs, brad bell, abc7 news. leon: a lot of talk about guns and talk about political correctness. right now our abc7's instapoll is up and running. we want to know if you think political correctness has made it difficult to say something if you see something. weigh in on that. wjla.com/votenow. you are looking at the bottom the screen at the live results. we will check back on the results throughout the evening here. coming up in a special town hall discussion tonight, "your voice, your future: terror alert." the hour-long broadcast will be dedicated to what happened in orlando and where the nation goes from here. that is at 7:00 p.m. on sister station newschannel8. streamed live as

should have done differently. leon: officials believe that mateen became radicalized on the internet but say there has been no evidence that the shooter was part of a larger plot. he killed 49 people inside the club before police were able to take him down. the names of the victims scrolling at the bottom of the screen. alison: the nightclub massacre making wavers in the race for the white house and internationally as well. leon: the eiffel tower lit overseas in paris tonight in the rainbow colors. in memory and commemoration of the lives lost in orlando. alison: well, both hillary clinton and donald trump in this country focusing on terror policy. with the g.o.p. candidate giving a major speech today. abc7's karen travers joins us live with more. reporter: good everything. it didn't take long for politics to be a big part of the aftermath of the orlando shooting. today trump says if he is elected president he would suspend immigration from parts of the world that have a history of terrorism against the united states.

focused on bigger things than trump. at hillary clinton's rally, a more somber tone. no upbeat warmup music. no direct mention of donald trump. but it was clear who she is talking about. >> inflammatory, anti-muslim rhetoric, hurts the vast majority of muslims who love freedom and hate terror. reporter: her biggest applause line when she sere rowed in on one of the weapons that mateen used, an assault style rifle. >> i believe weapons of war have no place on our street. reporter: donald trump's speech was billed focused on hillary clinton. today he promised he will give that speech soon. reporting live from northwest, karen travers, abc7 news. leon: thank you, karen. we'll watch to see what happens next. in the meantime tonight, the shooter's father is insisting his son was not motivated by islamist radical ideology but

hints about a possible motive. >> i don't approve what he did. it was completely act of terrorist. i loved him so much, and dearly. i condemn what he did. i wish i did know that what he was doing. if i catch him, i would have arrested him myself. leon: however, mateen's father as you saw there reported has well-known anti-american views. new message posted by him on facebook this morning makes it clear he could have passed antihomosexual views to his son. >> the orlando shooting brought back painful memories for the virginia tech community where 32 people were killed in 2007. we all remember that. up until yesterday, virginia tech had been the seen of the deadliest shooting in american history. >> that is a mantle we never wanted. but we obviously never wanted to give it up because we never wanted anybody else to go through what we went

they also laid blame on alecia schmuhl calling andrew a foot soldier. they said she could have stopped it. the plan was her plan. they concluded calling andrew schmuhl a con artist two wanted to kill fisher and duncan, highlighting duncan's quick thinking to play dead and trip the alert alerting police. they overlooked one major thing, they said. the power of the human spirit. the will to fight for life. now one point the defense and the prosecution are in agreement on, they both believe alecia schmuhl is guilty of carrying out this crime. her trial will happen in the next several months. the difference being prosecutors saying andrew schmuhl and alecia schmuhl were equal partners in carrying out this attack. asking jurors to finds him guilty. deliberations resume tomorrow morning. jeff goldberg, abc7 news. alison: thank you. coming up next on "abc7 news at 5:00" -- the s
