Peter O. Gonzalez-Cruz, known as Peter Ommy, was among 50 killed.

CORRECTION: Victim was not from N.J., as previously reported by several media outlets.


Peter O. Gonzalez-Cruz, who was among the 50 people killed inside Pulse nightclub in Orlando on Sunday's mass shooting, was a 22-year-old man who attended Colonial High School in Orlando, said Shari Bobinski, spokeswoman for Orange County schools in Florida.

His profile states he was single, spoke English and Spanish and had lived in Africa.

Based on information from the victim's Facebook page, several media outlets, including New Jersey Advance Media incorrectly reported that Gonzalez-Cruz had attended high school in New Jersey.
