There's still a lot to process regarding the Orlando shooting, and on Monday's Late Night, host Seth Meyers took a closer look at the tragedy.
He started on a positive note, praising the "tremendous outpourings of compassion and goodwill" in Orlando — hundreds of people lined up to give blood, more than $2 million has been raised for families of victims, and LGBT centers have been flooded with donations. When it comes to the details of the attack, Meyers says one thing is certain: "Whether the shooter was a homophobe, mentally ill, a terrorist inspired by ISIS, or all three, what allowed him to kill so many people on Sunday is his gun."
