The arson suspect, Joseph Michael Schreiber, 32, faces at least 30 years in prison if convicted on pending charges of deliberately starting the blaze at the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, where Orlando gunman Omar Mateen worshiped, police said. Mateen was killed by law enforcement officers after shooting 49 people to death and wounding 53 others in June at a gay nightclub in Orlando, about 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Fort Pierce. Fire erupted at the Fort Pierce mosque at about 12:30 a.m. EST on Monday, coinciding with one of the holiest of Muslim holidays, Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, and authorities immediately branded the blaze an arson attack.
