6 Wounded in Orlando Attack Still Critical at Hospital

READ TIME: 1 MIN.

Six people wounded in the attack on a gay nightclub are still in critical condition at a hospital.

Orlando Regional Medical Center said Thursday that three people are in guarded condition. That's an improvement from a couple of days ago when five people were in that condition.

Twenty-three people in all are still at Orlando Regional.

Forty-nine people were killed and more than 50 wounded when Omar Mateen opened fire inside the Pulse nightclub early Sunday.

The motive for his attack is still unclear. He pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in a 911 call, his ex-wife said he was mentally ill and his father has suggested he was angry with gays.
