Mateen opened fire at Pulse early Sunday morning, leaving 50 dead and 53 injured. Twenty-seven victims remained hospitalized on Tuesday.
Six were in critical condition, according to hospital officials who
said the death toll was still at risk of rising because one or two of
the patients were “profoundly ill”
