NEW YORK (Reuters) - Amanda Alvear's last Snapchat video post begins with a shot of her on the dance floor of an Orlando nightclub surrounded by friends. It ends with gunshots ringing out over the music.

Alvear, 25, was identified by police on Monday as one of 49 people killed by a gunman at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Alvear's friend Mercedez Flores, 26, who worked for Target, also was on the list. The Orlando Police Department has so far named 48 of the victims.
