Trump shifts plans to go after Clinton in wake of shooting

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Donald Trump plans Monday to further address the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history in a campaign speech originally intended to attack the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton.

Trump had planned to deliver remarks Monday outlining his case against Clinton's potential presidency, but will instead retool his focus to "further address this terrorist attack, immigration and national security," his campaign said Sunday.

A gunman wielding an assault-style rifle and handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday, killing at least 50 people before dying in a gunfight with police.

The presumptive GOP nominee has proposed temporarily barring foreign Muslims from entering the country and advocated using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods to try to stave off future attacks.

Like Obama, Clinton called the shootings acts of terror and hate, but did not use the words radical Islam in a statement released by her campaign.

[...] she said the country must "redouble our efforts" to defend the country, including "defeating international terror groups, working with allies and partners to go after them wherever they are, countering their attempts to recruit people here and everywhere, and hardening our defenses at home."

Hours after Obama spoke, a law enforcement official confirmed to The Associated Press that Mateen made a 911 call from the club during which he professed allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
