The soul-searching and debate has begun in the United States as to why an American man would storm a gay nightclub and cause such unimaginable death. Forty-nine people were killed in the gun attack in Orlando in the early hours of Sunday morning. Dozens of others wounded- some critically.  The gunman Omar Mateen proclaimed his allegiance to Daesh. Now intelligence agencies will determine if he was acting alone or if he had direct links to the group's leadership in the Middle East.  Whatever the outcome, America's worst shooting in history is also its worst terrorist attack since 9/11.  It's also the deadliest attack on a gay target in the nation's history.  Our Newsmaker today is Omar Mateen, as we ask how he was able to carry out the attack and if anything could have been done to stop him.
