At least 50 killed at nightclub
Gunman pledged
allegiance to ISIS
BY MIKE SCHNEIDER
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — It had been
an evening of drinking, dancing
and drag shows. After hours of
revelry, the party-goers crowding the gay nightclub known as
the Pulse took their last sips before the place closed.
That’s when authorities say
Omar Mateen emerged, carrying
an AR-15 and spraying the helpless crowd with bullets. Witnesses said he fired relentlessly — 20
rounds, 40, then 50 and more.

han console each other Sunday after the shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, Fla.
When the gunfire finally
stopped, he had slain 50 people
and critically wounded dozens more in the deadliest mass
shooting in modern U.S. history. Mateen, who law enforcement officials said had pledged
allegiance to Islamic State in a
911 call around the time of the
attack, died in a gun battle with
SWAT team members.
Authorities immediately began investigating whether the
assault was an act of terrorism
and probing the background of
Mateen, a 29-year-old American
citizen from Fort Pierce, Florida,
who had worked as a security
guard. The gunman’s father recalled that his son recently got
angry when he saw two men
kissing in Miami and said that

killed at the club, and 11 people
died at hospitals, Mayor Buddy
Dyer said.
Jon Alamo had been dancing
at the Pulse for hours when he
wandered into the club’s main
room just in time to see the gunman. “You ever seen how Marine
guys hold big weapons, shooting
from left to right? That’s how he
was shooting at people,” he said.
“My first thought was, oh my
God, I’m going to die,” Alamo
said. “I was praying to God that
I would live to see another day.”
Pulse patron Eddie Justice texted his mother, Mina:
“Mommy I love you. In club they
shooting.” About 30 minutes
later, hiding in a bathroom, he
texted her: “He’s coming. I’m
gonna die.” As Sunday wore on,
she awaited word on his fate.
At least 53 people were hospitalized, most in critical condition, and a surgeon at Orlando
Regional Medical Center said
the death toll was likely to climb.
The previous deadliest mass
shooting in the U.S. was the
2007 attack at Virginia Tech,
where a student killed 32 people
before killing himself.
Mateen’s family was from
Afghanistan, and he was born
in New York. His family later
moved to Florida, authorities
said.

Man arrested Next Greenway Trail phase not until 2018
after pursuit
in 3 counties

Staff report
A convicted felon with a long history of
drug and illegal driving convictions reportedly led McCracken County Sheriff’s
deputies on a chase through three counties early Sunday before
being taken into custody.
According to the sheriff’s department, a sergeant clocked Paducah
resident Jacob Bailey,
34, driving at more than
100 miles per hour in a
black BMW just before
3:30 a.m. on MetropoBailey
lis Lake Road near the
Heath area.
The sergeant reportedly attempted to
stop the vehicle as it traveled on U.S. 60
heading west toward Wickliffe in Ballard
County. The vehicle continued on Highway 121 back toward Carlisle County, and
still at excessive speeds, drove through
Carlisle and into Graves County.
Sheriff’s deputies from Ballard and
Graces counties joined the chase and followed the vehicle as it headed toward the
southbound ramp of Interstate 69. But

The Greenway Trail that currently
connects two of Paducah’s parks and
the Burnett Street boat ramp is going
to be extended into downtown, but it
will take some time before it’s under
construction.
The city is now seeking qualified
engineering firms to be considered
to complete the design work for the
fourth phase of the Greenway Trail,
which will cross through the Schultz
Park riverfront development that’s
planned to be completed this fall.
One aspect of Schultz Park that

Farrakhan details Ali’s
ties to Nation of Islam
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Nation of
Islam leader Louis Farrakhan spoke of his own
history with Muhammad Ali on Sunday in a
speech that lasted more
than two hours at the
Chicago-based
movement’s headquarters.
He told a story of the
night before one of his
two fights with Sonny
Liston that Ali asked him
to tell him the “history of
black suffering” that he
felt he needed to defeat
Liston.
Ali was the most famous follower of the
Elijah Muhammad, the
late leader of the Nation
of Islam. He made headlines around the world
when he formally declared himself a Muslim
in 1964, and that he was
rejecting what he called
his slave name, Cassius Clay, in favor of the
name Muhammad Ali.
Farrakhan
also
touched on Ali’s move
toward orthodox Sunni
Islam after Elijah Muhammad’s death in the
1970s, lamenting that Ali
“forgot” Elijah Muhammad’s pivotal role in his
success.
One killed, one
injured in fiery
rest area crash
Staff report
One person is dead
and another seriously
injured following a fiery wreck Sunday that
shut down a Jefferson
County, Illinois, rest
area for the majority
of the day.
According to a news
release from the Illinois State Police, a
75-year-old man from
Knott Island sped
into the rest area located along Interstate
64 at milepost 85 in
a white motor home
just before 10 a.m.
The release said the
vehicle was driving
on and off the road,
striking several trees,
before speeding into
the parking lot area
and striking a parked
Chevrolet
pickup
truck towing a travel
trailer.
The high impact of
the crash resulted in
both vehicles going up in
flames, destroying both
vehicles and the travel
trailer.
The driver of the motor home, a 75-year-old
male from Knott Island,
North Carolina, was
pronounced dead at the
scene and a 74-year-old
female passenger from
the same area was taken
to a Good Samaritan
Hospital in Mt. Vernon
and then airlifted to a
St. Louis hospital for
treatment of major injuries. Both of their names
were unavailable Sunday pending family notifications.
The release said the
driver of the truck that
was struck, 47-year-old
Patrick Outler, and a
passenger, 47-year-old
Jacqueline Outler, both
of Chandler, Indiana,
were not injured.
The ISP is continuing
to investigate the crash.
Mallard Fillmore
by Bruce Tinsley
NEW YORK — The
gay, lesbian and transgender
community
has seen violence before, from Harvey Milk
to Matthew Shepard,
and an ever-lengthening list of transgender women. But never
anything like this.
Sunday’s
massacre at a gay nightclub
in Orlando, Florida,
grimly changed the
equation,
stirring
communal fears and
swiftly
prompting
tighter security at
gay pride events. The
gunman,
identified
as Omar Mateen of
Fort Pierce, Florida,
told his father he had
been disturbed by seeing two men kissing in
Miami.
The attack on the
Pulse nightclub, which
killed at least 50 people and was the deadliest U.S. mass shooting
to date, occurred amid
numerous events nationwide celebrating
LGBT Pride Month.
In several other cities
hosting events on Sunday authorities beefed
up the police presence.
This “is a tragic illus-
tration of the legitimate
safety fears that those
in our LGBT community
live with every day,” said
Mike Rawlings, the mayor of Dallas, where extra
police were assigned to
a neighborhood that is a
hub of the local gay community.
Rachel B. Tiven, CEO
of the LGBT-rights
group Lambda Legal,
said the continued vilification of LGBT people
by their detractors, and
the continued resistance
to expansion of their civil rights, was “an invitation to violence.”
“When people are
targeted by others who
are scared of difference,
they’re not safe when
they go dancing, they’re
not safe when they go
out to pray,” she said. “If
we live in culture where
fear of difference is encouraged, that can, in
the hands of crazy people, have dreadful consequences.”
There have been a few
previous attacks on gay
nightclubs, but only one
that caused a significant
number of deaths. A fire
set by an arsonist killed
32 people at the Upstairs
Lounge in New Orleans
in 1973; the arsonist was
never caught.

McConnell reveals his human side in memoir
BY SCOTT JENNINGS Success in politics flows from
four virtues: goal setting, planning,
patience and teamwork, according to
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s just-released memoir The Long
Game, which details the perseverance
required of Kentucky’s longest-serving
senator to beat polio, overcome the
Kentucky Democratic machine, and
outmaneuver Washington’s sharpelbowed elite.
David Williams, a McConnell ally
and former Kentucky Senate president, used to say, “Instant coffee ruined the world. You need to let things
percolate.” Williams dealt with his
share of impatient politicians desirous
of fame and glory after walking the
halls of government for five minutes.
In a world brimming with Keurig-style
politicos, McConnell has deliberately
brewed his success over time.
The Long Game finds McConnell
humbly treading through his upbringing in the Deep South, his family’s
move to Kentucky, and the decisions
that ultimately led to successful runs
for public office, first in 1977 for Jefferson County Judge-Executive and
then for U.S. Senate in 1984.
Overcoming polio at four years
old shaped McConnell’s life. Born 12
years before Salk’s vaccine, McConnell
recalls his struggle to understand his
beloved mother’s grueling treatment
program. For two years, Julia McConnell kept her young son off his feet as
she administered therapies to rescue
him from potential paralysis. She
explained to him that he could and
would walk, but just not at that time.
It’s interesting to think of McConnell — just a toddler — enduring that
brutal two-year cycle, overcoming
“Only in America could a bespectacled polio
survivor who started out in this business with no
contacts, no credentials, and no money wake up
one day at the age of seventy-two to find himself
treated like a celebrity.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
long odds to beat an opponent that
seemed insurmountable. Little did
he know that his future would also
be defined by similarly confounding
and exasperating two-year campaign
cycles with uncertain outcomes.
A theme for McConnell — from
beating up schoolyard bully Dicky
McGrew to winning Senate leadership
elections before his opponents even
knew they had started — is that his
adversaries rarely see him coming.
Often underestimated (we are going
to “kick your ass…all over Kentucky,”
a consultant to McConnell victim Dee
Huddleston boasted in 1984), McConnell hammers the point that overconfidence can quickly undo any politician.
Huddleston, for instance, failed to see
McConnell’s famous bloodhounds
coming until he was plum up the tree
on election night.
McConnell’s deeply personal recollections remind us that the politicians
we see vilified in campaign ads or
skewered in the press are just people,
with the same problems, anxieties,
happiness, and grief felt by most of
us during the course of a lifetime.
This memoir, given its candor about
McConnell’s toughest times personally, reminds us that the mere act of
seeking public office doesn’t make one
immune from the stress of courtships,
parenting, caring for and eventually
burying aging parents, and managing
tough situations at work.
One shocking anecdote involves
McConnell’s deep reflection in 2013
about whether to seek reelection
the following year, fearing he could
lose and cost the Republican Party a
majority in the Senate. The thought of
McConnell calling it quits on the eve
of winning in a landslide and becoming Senate Majority Leader seems
unfathomable today.
The book succeeds in revealing the
very human emotions swirling inside
of McConnell, including self-doubt. All
of us have lain awake at night fretting
over the risks and possible rewards of
decisions to be made at work the following day. Am I doomed to fail and
just don’t know it? If my job decision
goes south, how will I provide for my
family? McConnell had these thoughts
in 1984 when he came home from a
grueling day of campaign travel to find
a tree in his yard split by lightning, his
goldfish dead, and his fed up girlfriend
gone forever (in a message delivered
via answering machine, no less).
McConnell was the first member of
his family to finish college. He loved
his parents deeply and grieved mightily when they died. He witnessed
segregation and has demonstrated a
lifelong commitment to civil rights,
even voting for Lyndon Johnson over
Barry Goldwater in 1964. He did not
attend an Ivy League college, opting
instead for the Universities of Louisville and Kentucky. He fathered three
daughters and endured a divorce.
When forced to take jobs for which he
lacked passion, he became a restless
soul.
His story is very human, very
humble, and very Kentucky.
He started with a dream, few advantages, and plenty of obstacles, just like
most of his constituents. And he reacts
with the bemusement you’d expect
from any up-from-his-bootstraps
Kentuckian to becoming a national
political figure, one whose every utterance now attracts attention: “Only
in America could a bespectacled polio
survivor who started out in this business with no contacts, no credentials,
and no money wake up one day at
the age of seventy-two to find himself
treated like a celebrity.”
For years, journalists have struggled
to understand the winning ways of
McConnell, someone they inaccurately portray as a cold, emotionless political operative lacking connectivity to
average voters. The Long Game serves
as an education about McConnell the
human being, whose life experiences
form the fabric of his connection to
the people of his old Kentucky home.

She described him as religious but not radical.

twice, according to FBI
agent Ronald Hopper,
who called the interviews inconclusive. In
2014, Hopper said, officials found that Mateen
had ties to an American
suicide bomber, but the
agent described the contact as minimal, saying
it did not constitute a
threat at the time.
Asked if the gunman
had a connection to radical Islamic terrorism,
Hopper said authorities
had “suggestions that
individual has leanings
towards that.”
Mateen purchased at
least two firearms legally within the last week or
so, according to Trevor
Velinor of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms.
In a separate incident,
an Indiana man armed
with three assault rifles
and chemicals used to
make explosives was arrested Sunday in Southern California and told
police he was headed to
a Los Angeles-area gay
pride parade.
The Orlando shoot-
ing started about 2 a.m.,
with more than 300
people inside the Pulse.
“He had an automatic
rifle, so nobody stood
a chance,” said Jackie
Smith, who saw two
friends next to her get
shot. “I just tried to get
out of there.”
Mateen
exchanged
gunfire with 14 police
officers at the club, and
took hostages at one
point. In addition to the
assault rifle, the shooter
also had a handgun and
some sort of “suspicious
device,” the police chief
said.
Authorities searched
his vehicle and reportedly found about one-half
ounce of crystal methamphetamine, electronic scales, baggies and a
smoking device.
Deputies said Bailey
seemed to be under the
influence of methamphetamine when they
arrested him. First responders offered to take
him to Jackson Purchase Medical Center
for a blood draw, but
he refused. He was then
taken back to McCracken County Jail. He faces
multiple charges that in-
clude speeding, fleeing
or evading, wanton endangerment, trafficking
in methamphetamine,
possession of drug paraphernalia, reckless driving and DUI.
Bailey has a criminal
history that includes at
least three contempt of
court convictions, 27
speeding
convictions,
theft, DUI, and a manslaughter conviction in
McCracken County from
a 2008 car crash that
killed one person. He
received a seven-year
prison sentence for that
offense.

Grant from the Kentucky
Transportation
Cabinet for phase four.
It requires a $130,000
match from the city. The
city was first awarded
the grant in 2011, when
it planned to use it to
extend the trail through
the Perkins Creek Nature Preserve near the
west end of the trail,.
But in 2014 city leaders instead opted to use
it to connect the trail to
downtown and Schultz
Park.
The funds are expected to cover more than a
mile of trail pavement.
Although the distance
from Campbell to Madison and Monroe streets
isn’t a mile, a large portion of the trail is set to
wrap around the Schultz
Park riverfront development.
Schultz Park is under
construction and will
include a completed
land mass, landscape
improvements, steps to
the rivers edge and a
transient boat dock. It’s
scheduled to be substantially completed by
September, when the
contractors must have
the boat dock installed
to prevent losing a portion of the city’s grant
funding for the project.
The fifth phase of the
project, which will utilize
a $403,000 Transportation Alternative Program
grant, is planned to take
the trail from Madison
and Monroe streets to
Jefferson Street, where
the funds will be used to
install trailhead parking
and lighting. There is no
time schedule yet for the
fifth phase.
The trail leading into
downtown ties into a
larger plan to add bike
lanes on Broadway and
Jefferson Streets and
make traffic changes
downtown to make the
area more cyclist and
pedestrian friendly.
That project is on
hold until the city finds
funds to study the traffic
changes.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
instead of getting
on the ramp, the car
drove into a grassy
area, apparently in an
attempt to evade authorities.
As deputies tried
to block the vehicle,
Bailey rammed into
a McCracken County
cruiser. The deputy
was able to stop the
car, however, and Bailey was arrested, ending the pursuit.
Bailey
reportedly
told deputies as they
took him into custody that he was trying to get them to kill
him because he did
not want to go back
to prison. He was out
of jail on bond on
charges of receiving
stolen property over
$10,000, possession
of methamphetamine,
first-degree criminal
mischief and being a
persistent felony offender.

Obama: Orlando shooting ‘act of terror’
BY KEVIN FREKING
AND JOSH LEDERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
President
Barack
Obama decried the
deadliest mass shooting in American history
on Sunday as a terrorist act targeting a place
of “solidarity and empowerment” for gays
and lesbians. He urged
Americans to decide “if
that’s the kind of country we want to be.”
Hours after a gunman
killed at least 50 people
in Orlando, Obama
said the FBI would investigate the nightclub
shooting as terrorism,
but said the alleged
shooter’s motivations
were unclear. He said
the U.S. “must spare
no effort” to determine
whether the suspect,
identified by authorities as Omar Mateen,
had any ties to extremist
groups.
“What is clear is he
was a person filled with
hatred,” Obama said
Associated Press
President Barack Obama speaks about the massacre at a Orlando nightclub at a news conference
at the White House in Washington, Sunday.
of the alleged shooter.
He added: “We know
enough to say that this
was an act of terror and
an act of hate. And as
Americans, we are united in grief, in outrage,
and in resolve to defend
our people.”
Obama had planned
to travel to Wisconsin
on Wednesday for his
first campaign appearance of the 2016 race, a
joint rally with Hillary
Clinton in Green Bay,
Wisconsin.
But Clinton’s campaign and the White
House said that event
was being postponed in
light of the attack.
The president, who
has proclaimed June as
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
and Transgender Pride
Month, called the attack “heartbreaking” for
the LGBT community.
He said the site of the
shooting was more than
a nightclub because
it was a place where
people came “to raise
awareness, to speak
their minds and to advocate for their civil
rights.”
For Obama, the
hastily arranged remarks were the latest in what’s become
a tragically familiar
routine. Since he took
office in 2009, Obama
has appeared before
cameras more than a
dozen times following
mass shootings and
issued written statements after many others.
Though he lamented
“how easy it is” for people to get their hands
on weapons, Obama
appeared resigned to
the likelihood that he’ll
be unable as president
to substantially address the mass shootings that have proliferated in recent years.
“We have to decide
if that’s the kind of
country we want to
be,” Obama said. “To
actively do nothing is a
decision as well.”

and it eventually went
away,” she said. “At that
point, the sun was coming up, and I knew we
were almost done so I
just kept pushing.”
The Durby, which included 92 men, 88 women and three relay teams,
is part of a five-race
series. Steve Durbin, a
Paducah native and accomplished runner, is
the series’ architect.
He and his brother,
John Durbin, were
busy throughout Saturday night and Sunday
morning, keeping times
and directing track traffic. Numerous people
were also on hand to
support and encourage runners as they circled the soft gravel and
crushed limestone track.
“This race is like a
big family, people come
back every year because they enjoy it,”
Steve said. “We do our
absolute damndest to
make people happy and
give them an enjoyable
event. … We’ve come to
where that’s what people expect.”
If there was a celebrity at the Durby, it was
likely the eccentric Lazarus Lake, also known as
Gary Cantrell. Many

had some issues at mile
40 or so,” Wasternack
said. “I had to work
through that and lost
some time.”
“The last couple of
hours were pretty rough,
but I just wanted to keep
moving forward,” Corino said.
The runners said
mental toughness was
as important as physical
stamina in completing
the Durby, particularly
in the stifling heat.
“Your body tricks you
— it tells you to take a
break because you’re not
doing so well,” Wasternack said. “But you have
so much more capacity
after you do that. … You
just have to keep on going and telling yourself
you have more.
“A couple of miles
(after a brief break), I
opened up and had really good miles.”
Corino said her great
challenge came in the
run’s seventh hour,
when fatigue and a desire to sleep kicked in.
But she broke through
the wall.

that was going to pass,
so I walked-run a bit
RYAN HERMENS | The Sun
Participants in the annual Run Under the Stars ultra marathon begin the race at 8 p.m. Saturday at

many miles as possible within 10 hours. Penitentiary.
Lake was there Sunday morning, pausing
from his laps to smoke a
cigarette, the easy smile
and signature dry humor still going strong.
He said he and Steve
Durbin are good friends,
running buddies who
have “done a few miles
together — at a slow
pace.”
Lake’s optimum running days are behind

The Race That Eats Its
