Most of us have wondered since the tragic mass shooting in Orlando last Sunday [June 12] what exactly the reasoning behind it was and what the shooter was thinking when he decided to do it.
Now there’s a chance to get more insight on the matter as today [Monday, June 20] transcripts of the phone calls between the gunman and police are set to surface, according to Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
“He talked about his pledges of allegiance to a terrorist group. He talked about his motivations for why he was claiming at that time he was committing this horrific act. He talked about American policies in some ways,” CNN reports Lynch stating.
In consideration of all of the victims, these transcripts will be limited but will contain the substance of the conversations that went on during a total of three phone calls between the murderer and police.
In related news, Lynch is set to be in Orlando on Tuesday where she will meet with those involved in the mass shooting including victims and their families, first responders and federal prosecutors.
