1
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:03,537
(suspenseful music)
2
00:01:10,937 --> 00:01:14,206
- That night, me, my
cousin Akyra Murray,
3
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:16,508
and my friend Patience
Carter, we were at the house
4
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:18,511
and we were just debating
if we wanted to go out,
5
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:21,113
and we was trying to find
places that was age appropriate,
6
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:22,782
because at the
time, I was only 20.
7
00:01:22,783 --> 00:01:24,449
(suspenseful music)
8
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:26,786
- Wanted to experience
something new altogether.
9
00:01:26,787 --> 00:01:29,254
We looked up some
clubs, and we saw Pulse
10
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:30,489
was one of the options.
11
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:32,224
We loved the pictures-
12
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:34,627
- [Tiara] We didn’t know
it was a gay club at first.
13
00:01:34,628 --> 00:01:35,595
We didn’t care.
14
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:36,428
We’re all getting dressed.
15
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:37,597
We’re having fun.
16
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:38,831
We’re running through
the house acting
17
00:01:38,832 --> 00:01:41,267
like fools at 11:30 at night.
18
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:46,906
- It was my first night
going to the Pulse nightclub.
19
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:50,209
Got there, it was 11:07,
so I’ll never forget it,
20
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:51,744
’cause I was like,
"Seven minutes?
21
00:01:51,745 --> 00:01:53,012
"It’s $10.
|
22
00:01:53,013 --> 00:01:54,046
"I’ll spend that on a drink.
|
23
00:01:54,047 --> 00:01:55,681
"Come on. "No one’s behind me."
|
24
00:01:55,682 --> 00:01:57,350
"Please, let me in."
|
25
00:01:58,484 --> 00:02:01,220
But no, it was $10 to get in.
26
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:03,188
- It was just the
friendliest people ever.
27
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:07,560
That was the overall atmosphere
of Pulse when we were there.
28
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:11,363
- Actually, a girl, Amanda,
she gave Patience her plus one,
29
00:02:11,364 --> 00:02:14,667
so Patience got in free, but
me and my cousin had to pay.
30
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:17,302
And we was like (gasps).
31
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:18,638
We’re having fun.
32
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,405
So we go in there and
we spent, pretty much,
33
00:02:20,406 --> 00:02:21,741
the majority of
our night with her.
34
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:25,512
(energetic electronic music)
35
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:33,252
- It started out like
a regular Saturday,
36
00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:35,187
and actually, it was
slow, so I was like,
37
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:36,388
"Eh, I’m gonna leave early."
|
38
00:02:36,389 --> 00:02:38,290
And then, all my friends
started showing up,
39
00:02:38,291 --> 00:02:40,092
so that’s when I was
like, "Oh, I’ll stay.
40
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:41,293
"I’ll stay. I’ll stay."
41
00:02:41,294 --> 00:02:42,895
Everyone talked me
into it and I stayed.
42
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:46,165
(energetic electronic music)
43
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:48,668
- They were dancing on a
bar, on the poles on a stage,
44
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:52,204
and there was one empty pole,
and my cousin actually jumped
45
00:02:52,205 --> 00:02:53,873
on it and started dancing.
46
00:02:53,874 --> 00:02:54,974
Everybody was having a ball.
47
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:56,075
They loved us.
48
00:02:56,076 --> 00:02:57,209
We loved them.
49
00:02:57,210 --> 00:02:58,544
We had the time of our lives.
50
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:00,913
(energetic electronic music)
51
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:04,049
- I told myself, I’m like,
"Wow, I came to Orlando
52
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,685
"to settle roots,"
because I’d been all
53
00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:07,086
over the country traveling.
54
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:10,189
I really wanted
Orlando to be my home.
55
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,657
I told my dad,
56
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:13,325
"Hey, I’m gonna find that
community you wanted.
57
00:03:13,326 --> 00:03:14,193
"It’s gonna happen here.
58
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,895
"It’s gonna happen."
59
00:03:15,896 --> 00:03:18,832
(foreboding music)
60
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:31,677
- Everyone was drunk at
around 1:50, 1:55, 2:00 AM.
61
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:33,345
Everyone was going
home, Ubering home,
62
00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:34,880
taking a Lyft home,
taxi, something.
63
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:35,781
They’re all drunk.
64
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:38,450
(foreboding music)
65
00:03:38,451 --> 00:03:39,585
- I looked at the time.
66
00:03:39,586 --> 00:03:40,753
It was 1:58.
67
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:43,188
I saw that it was almost
time for us to go.
68
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:45,024
- I was gonna get an
Uber back, so that way,
69
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:46,325
we ain’t gotta bother
my mom and them,
70
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:48,961
’cause I know they’re tired.
71
00:03:48,962 --> 00:03:52,197
Right when I ordered it,
we hear the gunshots.
72
00:03:52,198 --> 00:03:55,501
(foreboding music)
73
00:03:55,502 --> 00:03:58,839
(rifle rapidly banging)
74
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:05,712
(rifle rapidly banging)
75
00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:13,185
- And the first few you
think were the actual music,
76
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:14,687
’cause I was against the wall.
77
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:17,222
And I’ll never forget, I
could feel the vibrations
78
00:04:17,223 --> 00:04:19,158
in my feet and in my back.
79
00:04:19,159 --> 00:04:23,329
And I felt guilty for a long
time, because I danced to it.
80
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:26,766
- Because it’s three or four
different DJs in this building
81
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,934
that you would think it was
a part of one of the songs,
82
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:29,902
so people kept partying.
83
00:04:29,903 --> 00:04:31,637
They didn’t pay it no mind.
84
00:04:31,638 --> 00:04:33,973
And then the shots got louder,
and then they kept going,
85
00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:34,974
and you’d just hear ’em.
86
00:04:34,975 --> 00:04:37,042
They were repetitive.
87
00:04:37,043 --> 00:04:38,210
- I was getting my last drink.
|
88
00:04:38,211 --> 00:04:39,679
It was last call.
|
89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,782
My friend wanted to use the
restroom, so I said no problem.
90
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:47,019
I got my drink, and we were
walking to the back of the club.
91
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:50,089
As we entered a restroom,
we heard this popping sound,
92
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:51,557
a pow, pow, pow,
93
00:04:51,558 --> 00:04:54,193
and I looked up in the air,
(rifle rapidly banging)
94
00:04:54,194 --> 00:04:55,628
and I’m like, "That
didn’t sound right."
95
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:57,563
My friend said, "Oh,
that’s the music effect."
96
00:04:57,564 --> 00:04:58,497
And I said, "No, no.
97
00:04:58,498 --> 00:05:00,700
"I know my DJs’ sound effects.
98
00:05:00,701 --> 00:05:02,602
"It usually has a
pow, pow, pow, pow,
99
00:05:02,603 --> 00:05:04,269
but with an air
horn at the end."
100
00:05:04,270 --> 00:05:05,437
So then a few seconds,
101
00:05:05,438 --> 00:05:06,371
I heard it again,
(rifle rapidly banging)
102
00:05:06,372 --> 00:05:08,173
another pow, pow, pow, pow, pow.
103
00:05:08,174 --> 00:05:09,675
And I said, "That
don’t sound right."
104
00:05:09,676 --> 00:05:11,176
I said, "We’re not
going out there."
105
00:05:11,177 --> 00:05:13,679
- I’m like, "Oh, it’s probably
just something gang related
106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,781
or something small,
but then we blaring
107
00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:17,983
(rapidly clicks tongue)
nonstop, nonstop, nonstop.
108
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:21,486
(rifle rapidly banging)
(crowd screaming)
109
00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:22,988
And that’s when we
looked at each other
110
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:26,025
like this isn’t normal,
and fear set in everyone,
111
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:28,427
and then a swarm of
people started coming
112
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,462
in from the main stage room.
113
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:34,634
(crowd screaming)
(rifle rapidly banging)
114
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:36,001
- While I was running, I heard
|
115
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:38,772
at least 50 shots
the first time.
116
00:05:39,906 --> 00:05:41,607
And it wasn’t spaced-out shots.
117
00:05:41,608 --> 00:05:44,376
It was continuous shots.
118
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:47,213
(crowd screaming)
119
00:05:49,115 --> 00:05:51,183
I thought that it was
somebody playing a prank,
120
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,719
as in throwing
fireworks on the floor.
121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,354
Next thing I know,
I was on the floor
122
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,858
and had somebody on top of me.
123
00:06:01,461 --> 00:06:03,362
- Since I have past law
enforcement experience,
124
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:07,232
I managed to decide to sit
on top of the toilet bowl,
125
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:11,070
actually lay on it, have my
feet up against the stall door.
126
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:13,238
If the gunman did come
in, he would come in
127
00:06:13,239 --> 00:06:15,407
and not see our feet underneath.
128
00:06:15,408 --> 00:06:18,778
- I ended up running for
cover in the men’s bathroom
129
00:06:18,779 --> 00:06:20,379
in the handicapped stall.
130
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,082
(people clamoring)
131
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:25,718
Ended up getting
into the stall last,
132
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:29,155
but I kind of pushed
everybody out my way
133
00:06:30,624 --> 00:06:34,093
and made it all the way to the
very far corner of the stall.
134
00:06:34,094 --> 00:06:37,664
I definitely have
regrets, like maneuvering
135
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:42,301
through all those people
just to get myself safe.
136
00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:44,805
I think about it all the time.
137
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:51,944
- I remember crawling
past the bathroom,
138
00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:55,080
and I saw inside the
bathroom, and I knew
139
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:57,049
that that’s not
where I had to go,
140
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:59,251
because in a horror movie,
you don’t go in the house.
141
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,219
You don’t stay in the house.
142
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:01,153
You don’t run upstairs.
143
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:01,854
You don’t go in the basement.
144
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:02,856
You leave.
145
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:07,392
You can hear the screaming,
146
00:07:07,393 --> 00:07:09,895
and you can hear the
gunfire still going off.
147
00:07:09,896 --> 00:07:14,433
And at this point, you’re
just like, there’s no way
148
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:15,400
that that’s going on right now.
149
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:17,302
Is this real?
150
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:21,273
(rifle rapidly banging)
(people screaming)
151
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:22,508
- I dropped to the floor
152
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:24,977
and I just started
scooting backwards.
153
00:07:24,978 --> 00:07:26,979
I ended up getting outside,
|
154
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,716
so I felt the grass
underneath my hands.
155
00:07:30,717 --> 00:07:34,954
And Akyra ran towards me, and
she was over top of me now.
156
00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:37,289
I looked up at her and I
asked her where Tiara was,
157
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:40,660
and she said Tiara’s
still inside.
158
00:07:40,661 --> 00:07:43,763
- When the shots kept
going, I just froze.
159
00:07:43,764 --> 00:07:45,931
It was an instant freeze.
|
160
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:47,667
It’s almost like the movies,
when everything is moving
161
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:49,969
in slow motion and you’re just
watching everything happen.
162
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,038
That’s what was going on.
|
163
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:55,875
- Yeah.
|
164
00:07:55,876 --> 00:07:57,309
When I see Akyra, I see
Tiara’s not with her,
165
00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:00,479
so I’m just like, "Well,"
instantly like, "where is she?"
166
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,413
"She’s inside."
167
00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:03,983
"Okay, we gotta go get her."
168
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:08,154
When we get back inside, we
see Tiara squatting by the bar.
169
00:08:09,623 --> 00:08:12,091
She rises up with us now,
so she’s standing with us.
170
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:14,894
We see people running
into bathroom,
171
00:08:14,895 --> 00:08:16,128
mass amounts of people running
172
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:18,097
and ducking into the bathroom,
173
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:22,035
so we run into the bathroom
after those people.
174
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:25,571
- When I came back to
my senses, that instant,
175
00:08:25,572 --> 00:08:26,772
I just ran backwards.
176
00:08:26,773 --> 00:08:29,274
I turned around and
ran instead of running,
177
00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:31,010
’cause the exit was right there.
178
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,978
Instead of just running outside,
179
00:08:32,979 --> 00:08:34,146
we just turned around and ran,
180
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:35,648
and we end up running
into a bathroom.
181
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:38,652
(suspenseful music)
182
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:47,527
- We didn’t know what
this was all about.
183
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:49,028
Who is this person?
184
00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:52,998
Is he mad that he caught
a lover with another lover
185
00:08:52,999 --> 00:08:54,534
or he got kicked out
of the nightclub?
186
00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:57,803
We were in the blind of
what was this all about.
187
00:08:57,804 --> 00:09:01,741
I tried to dial 911,
but the lines were busy,
188
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:03,242
as if I didn’t have
signal or there were
189
00:09:03,243 --> 00:09:06,812
just already people flooding
the lines busy with calls,
190
00:09:06,813 --> 00:09:08,347
so it didn’t go through.
191
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:09,281
- [Caller] Hello?
|
192
00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:10,516
- [Ernesta] Hi, this is Ernesta
|
193
00:09:10,517 --> 00:09:11,717
with the Orlando
Police Department.
194
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:12,518
I record of a line,
your phone, dialing 911.
195
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:13,953
Is everything okay?
|
196
00:09:13,954 --> 00:09:14,887
- [Caller] No, no, no, no.
197
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:17,056
Please come to Pulse, P-U-L-S-E.
198
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:18,591
And he’s shooting at us.
199
00:09:18,592 --> 00:09:20,392
Everybody is
bleeding everywhere.
200
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:21,627
- [Ernesta] It’s okay.
201
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:22,862
We’re gonna get
some help for you.
202
00:09:22,863 --> 00:09:25,497
Can you tell me anything
that they’re wearing?
203
00:09:25,498 --> 00:09:27,366
- [Caller] No, he’s
in the bathroom.
204
00:09:27,367 --> 00:09:28,267
- [Ernesta] He’s
in there with you?
205
00:09:28,268 --> 00:09:29,268
Just stay on the phone.
206
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:31,104
Let me get someone on.
207
00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:37,610
- When you hear him say,
"Damn, my gun’s jammed,"
208
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:38,844
I looked at my cousin.
209
00:09:38,845 --> 00:09:40,312
I looked at Patience,
and Patience’s like,
210
00:09:40,313 --> 00:09:43,282
"We can bum rush him,"
and that was the instinct.
211
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:45,217
Yeah, I’m gonna jump on him.
212
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:46,218
- We could just bum rush him.
213
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:47,553
That’s what the thought was,
214
00:09:47,554 --> 00:09:50,891
and then nobody else
was with that idea.
215
00:09:52,158 --> 00:09:55,228
Everybody was just
stunned, in shock,
216
00:09:56,196 --> 00:09:57,730
and it just didn’t happen.
217
00:09:57,731 --> 00:09:58,964
- The shooter done came in,
218
00:09:58,965 --> 00:10:01,300
and he just started
opening fire in there.
219
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:05,137
(people screaming)
(rifle rapidly banging)
220
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:06,338
I got hit.
221
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:08,741
I know Patience
was definitely hit.
222
00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:10,710
My cousin was definitely hit.
223
00:10:10,711 --> 00:10:12,512
- I didn’t see Akyra get shot,
224
00:10:12,513 --> 00:10:16,015
but after he sprayed the
bathroom with bullets,
225
00:10:16,016 --> 00:10:18,317
as the night just
kept going on and on,
226
00:10:18,318 --> 00:10:20,285
I just heard her less and less.
227
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,054
At first, I heard her the most.
228
00:10:22,055 --> 00:10:23,623
She just kept saying,
"I don’t wanna die.
229
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:25,291
"I don’t wanna die."
230
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:28,894
And then she was saying, "My
vision is getting blurry,"
231
00:10:28,895 --> 00:10:30,162
and stuff like that.
232
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:32,766
And then, I didn’t
hear her no more.
233
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,470
- I always worked
the graveyard shift.
234
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,806
I worked from 6:00
PM to 6:00 AM,
235
00:10:40,807 --> 00:10:42,742
and that was my weekend on.
|
236
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:46,579
So we started at 6:00
PM, got off 6:00 AM,
237
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:50,751
but unfortunately, that day
didn’t end at 6:00 AM for me.
238
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:55,055
I don’t think it’s
ever ended for me.
239
00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:59,592
When I arrived on scene on the
corner of Orange and Kaley,
240
00:10:59,593 --> 00:11:04,296
I heard gunshots from outside
from his assault rifle,
241
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:06,199
immediately ran inside.
|
242
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:09,101
- [Officer] Come
on, come, come on.
243
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:09,969
Come on, come on, come on.
244
00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:10,936
Hands up. Hands up.
245
00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:11,771
Keep your hands up.
246
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:13,038
Come on.
247
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:14,273
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
248
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:15,207
Come on this way,
this way, this way.
249
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:16,008
- [Officer] Keep your hands up.
250
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:16,809
Out into the street.
251
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:17,943
Keep your hands up.
252
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:18,878
- [Officer] Injured,
any injured?
253
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:19,879
- [Officer] Anybody injured?
254
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,514
Anybody injured?
Anybody injured?
255
00:11:21,515 --> 00:11:22,748
Anybody injured?
256
00:11:22,749 --> 00:11:24,283
- Keep walking.
- Anybody injured?
257
00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:25,951
- [Officer] Keep walking.
258
00:11:25,952 --> 00:11:26,886
- [Officer] Anybody injured?
259
00:11:26,887 --> 00:11:27,620
- [Officer] Is anyone injured?
260
00:11:27,621 --> 00:11:28,453
Keep walking.
261
00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:31,457
(people chattering)
262
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,426
- When I finally went
through all that crowd
263
00:11:34,427 --> 00:11:39,264
of people running out, when
I finally made myself inside,
264
00:11:39,265 --> 00:11:40,666
there were just bodies.
265
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:42,201
I started yelling to
these people, "Get up.
266
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:43,468
"Get up. Get up.
267
00:11:43,469 --> 00:11:45,037
"The police are here,"
and it took a minute
268
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:49,208
or so to realize that these
people were not getting up.
269
00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:52,545
But the few that
made effort to move,
270
00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:56,115
those were the ones we
were able to help out.
271
00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:58,518
I started pulling
an individual out,
272
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:01,821
when we heard (mimics gunshots).
|
273
00:12:01,822 --> 00:12:05,157
And that’s when I fell, and I
had the person on top of me,
274
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:09,862
and just hearing this
individual barely breathing,
275
00:12:09,863 --> 00:12:12,965
and we couldn’t move, because
at that point in time,
276
00:12:12,966 --> 00:12:15,701
we had no idea if he
was shooting at us,
277
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:19,404
if he was shooting at
other people elsewhere.
278
00:12:19,405 --> 00:12:21,173
We didn’t know if he can see us,
279
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:23,342
and he was shooting at us
because he saw us trying
280
00:12:23,343 --> 00:12:26,445
to save people, so
we just took cover.
281
00:12:26,446 --> 00:12:27,680
We took cover for a while,
282
00:12:27,681 --> 00:12:29,649
until we made sure there
was no more shooting.
283
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:32,653
(suspenseful music)
284
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:36,856
- When I went outside, I
ran out through the patio.
285
00:12:36,857 --> 00:12:39,825
Once I’m in the patio, I
noticed that my husband
286
00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:40,993
and my friends weren’t there,
|
287
00:12:40,994 --> 00:12:44,029
and I was just looking
around for them.
288
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:47,367
My first instinct was
to go back inside.
289
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:53,773
- I feel something hit me,
and it was something hot,
290
00:12:53,774 --> 00:12:58,611
so I just looked under my shirt
and I saw it was a gunshot.
291
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:01,080
And I was looking
around where I can hide.
292
00:13:01,081 --> 00:13:05,251
There was storage behind the
bar, so I just went there.
293
00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:09,469
- Mm-hmm.
|
294
00:13:10,557 --> 00:13:11,838
- Yeah.
|
295
00:13:13,493 --> 00:13:14,493
- It was seconds.
296
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:16,596
I just looked around real quick,
297
00:13:16,597 --> 00:13:19,365
and then I just
went back inside.
298
00:13:21,602 --> 00:13:23,068
- I was thinking of my husband,
299
00:13:23,069 --> 00:13:25,771
’cause he was with me
when everything had start.
300
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:27,306
He was beside me.
301
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:31,343
I was feeling very guilty
because I left him behind.
302
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:36,048
(rifle rapidly banging)
(people screaming)
303
00:13:36,049 --> 00:13:37,449
- He’s still shooting at people,
304
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:40,721
so that’s when I just
ran back outside.
305
00:13:41,722 --> 00:13:43,288
- I walked towards the street,
|
306
00:13:43,289 --> 00:13:45,290
and a lot of people
were telling me how,
307
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:47,527
"Have you been shot,"
since I had blood on me,
308
00:13:47,528 --> 00:13:49,328
but I didn’t notice at the time.
309
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:50,763
And they were telling
me, "What happened?
310
00:13:50,764 --> 00:13:52,031
"What happened?
311
00:13:52,032 --> 00:13:53,699
"Have you been shot?
Have you been shot?"
312
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:57,036
And I just kept on walking
towards the fire station,
313
00:13:57,037 --> 00:14:01,141
and that’s when the cops, they
just tried to calm me down.
314
00:14:02,909 --> 00:14:04,190
- Yes.
|
315
00:14:06,412 --> 00:14:09,182
This is what I
tell my therapist,
316
00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:13,252
because it is what it is.
317
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:16,088
I thought I’m gonna die,
and I know what you feel
318
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:17,957
when you’re gonna die.
319
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:20,226
I know exactly the feeling.
320
00:14:22,729 --> 00:14:25,598
- I stood by the
corner to make sure
321
00:14:25,599 --> 00:14:27,466
that I saw my husband
if he got out.
322
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:29,969
My husband was the second
group that got out,
323
00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:32,104
and I think that
was the last one.
324
00:14:32,105 --> 00:14:35,107
And from there, when I
saw my husband coming out,
325
00:14:35,108 --> 00:14:38,210
I got super happy
that I saw him.
326
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,713
I ran towards him, and then
all the cops started coming
327
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:43,148
up to us and telling us,
"You can’t be next to him.
328
00:14:43,149 --> 00:14:44,617
"You can’t be next to him."
329
00:14:44,618 --> 00:14:47,319
And then they separated me, and
he told me that he was fine,
330
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,788
but I saw he was shot.
331
00:14:48,789 --> 00:14:51,456
I was comfortable that
he told me he was okay.
332
00:14:51,457 --> 00:14:54,359
I stuck to my gut,
and I stayed calm,
333
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,963
and I told myself that
he was gonna be okay.
334
00:14:57,964 --> 00:15:01,033
(suspenseful music)
335
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:03,603
- We went in the men’s
side of the stalls.
336
00:15:03,604 --> 00:15:06,606
Someone came running in
and slide right under.
337
00:15:06,607 --> 00:15:08,107
And we were trying to
get him to come under,
338
00:15:08,108 --> 00:15:10,676
and he was begging, "Please,
please, please pull me under.
339
00:15:10,677 --> 00:15:11,644
"Pull me under.
340
00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:12,678
"I don’t wanna die."
341
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,347
And the guy came in.
342
00:15:17,117 --> 00:15:20,753
(rifle rapidly banging)
343
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:24,257
And that’s when I
received shrapnel damage
344
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:28,393
on my foot and on my right leg.
|
345
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:30,295
And I just started seeing blood,
346
00:15:30,296 --> 00:15:32,632
and that’s when it
really became real.
347
00:15:32,633 --> 00:15:35,234
He just killed someone
in front of me.
348
00:15:35,235 --> 00:15:38,470
- He kind of just laughed and
then shot through the door.
349
00:15:38,471 --> 00:15:41,941
(rifle rapidly banging)
|
350
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:45,578
It was just loud, loud,
loud, bang, bang, bang.
351
00:15:45,579 --> 00:15:48,213
And you could see smoke
just flying through the air,
352
00:15:48,214 --> 00:15:49,481
and you could smell it.
|
353
00:15:49,482 --> 00:15:52,151
I just remember being
in the very far corner
354
00:15:52,152 --> 00:15:55,688
and seeing everybody in front
of me just drop one by one
355
00:15:55,689 --> 00:15:59,191
like flies, just everybody
dropping to the floor.
356
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:00,626
- I just closed my
eyes, and I crawled
357
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:03,829
into a fetal position,
and I braced myself.
358
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:06,231
- I just remember thinking
that this isn’t real.
359
00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:10,570
I’m gonna wake from a bad
dream, and then eventually,
360
00:16:10,571 --> 00:16:12,137
reality started to kick in.
361
00:16:12,138 --> 00:16:15,140
I had sharp pains in my stomach.
362
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:17,943
I started feeling the
blood rushing down my leg,
363
00:16:17,944 --> 00:16:21,181
and I realized this
is really happening
364
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:24,484
and I might not make it out.
365
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:29,789
- There was a pause
in the gunfire.
366
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:31,691
I’m like, okay, maybe it’s over.
|
367
00:16:31,692 --> 00:16:34,026
I’ll make my way back
to see what’s going on,
368
00:16:34,027 --> 00:16:36,061
and that’s when I
see people outside
369
00:16:36,062 --> 00:16:38,297
that are already
hurt and wounded,
370
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:40,265
and other people
helping other people.
371
00:16:40,266 --> 00:16:42,467
At this time, all the
ambulance had rushed in.
372
00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:43,736
There was a truck that came
373
00:16:43,737 --> 00:16:45,170
and started throwing
the plastic boards,
374
00:16:45,171 --> 00:16:46,371
tossing ’em into the
parking lot and saying,
375
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:47,507
"Get the people on ’em.
376
00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:49,308
"Get ’em on ’em.
Get ’em on ’em."
377
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:52,444
Being in the parking lot with
them, we didn’t have gloves,
378
00:16:52,445 --> 00:16:55,014
and we’re asking paramedics,
"Can we have some gloves?"
379
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:57,683
And they said no, that
they didn’t have enough
380
00:16:57,684 --> 00:16:59,218
to share with us.
381
00:16:59,219 --> 00:17:02,454
So we’re in there feeling
the warmth of their blood,
382
00:17:02,455 --> 00:17:05,190
feeling their chillness
of their skin,
383
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:09,194
not knowing if they’re
gonna perish or not perish.
384
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:13,366
We just know that we have to
be in that sanctuary of hope.
385
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:19,439
(door clanking)
(eerie music)
386
00:17:20,841 --> 00:17:22,474
- In less than 10 minutes,
the gunman came back.
387
00:17:22,475 --> 00:17:24,977
He approached the
handicapped stall.
388
00:17:24,978 --> 00:17:28,313
He was telling them,
"Please do not text."
389
00:17:28,314 --> 00:17:31,183
so I’m saying to myself,
this man has the audacity
390
00:17:31,184 --> 00:17:34,253
that comes into this club
shooting, and you wanna walk
391
00:17:34,254 --> 00:17:38,090
back in and politely, in
a nice, soft-tone voice,
392
00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:39,860
"Please do not text"?
393
00:17:41,294 --> 00:17:44,496
I’m still trying to figure out
what was this man all about?
394
00:17:44,497 --> 00:17:45,965
But he got on the phone quickly.
395
00:17:45,966 --> 00:17:47,700
I think he had called
the news media and trying
396
00:17:47,701 --> 00:17:51,203
to let them know, to
get his message across.
397
00:17:51,204 --> 00:17:52,204
- [Dispatcher] Emergency 911.
398
00:17:52,205 --> 00:17:53,205
This is (audio becomes muffled).
399
00:17:53,206 --> 00:17:54,907
May I record it?
400
00:17:54,908 --> 00:17:56,842
(shooter speaking
in foreign language)
401
00:17:56,843 --> 00:17:58,110
What?
|
402
00:17:58,111 --> 00:18:02,215
(shooter speaking
in foreign language)
403
00:18:17,931 --> 00:18:19,732
- When we heard that,
we’re like, oh, my God.
404
00:18:19,733 --> 00:18:22,234
Is this really
what we’re hearing?
405
00:18:22,235 --> 00:18:23,636
They were still trying
to ask him questions,
406
00:18:23,637 --> 00:18:25,137
but he got upset.
407
00:18:25,138 --> 00:18:27,139
He hung up the phone.
408
00:18:27,140 --> 00:18:29,875
Then, he heard the people,
all their phones going off
409
00:18:29,876 --> 00:18:31,343
or whatever as if
they were texting,
410
00:18:31,344 --> 00:18:32,545
and he screamed at ’em,
411
00:18:32,546 --> 00:18:34,079
"Didn’t I say no
texting, no texting?
412
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,948
"I want everybody to
hand their phones over.
413
00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:36,982
"Hand their phones over."
414
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:40,185
(phones clattering)
415
00:18:40,186 --> 00:18:42,522
So I’m still hidden in there.
416
00:18:42,523 --> 00:18:44,423
I decided to keep my phone
because, like I said,
417
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:46,692
he’s still unaware that
I was sitting and hidden
418
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:48,761
on top of the toilet bowl.
419
00:18:48,762 --> 00:18:52,231
(phone ringing)
420
00:18:52,232 --> 00:18:53,699
- [Shooter] Hello.
421
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:54,634
- [Police Officer] Hi there.
This is Orlando Police.
422
00:18:54,635 --> 00:18:57,003
Who am I speaking with, please?
|
423
00:19:26,867 --> 00:19:30,871
- [Shooter] They need to
stop the US airstrikes.
424
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:28,514
- When he said he had bombs
to light up a city block,
425
00:22:28,515 --> 00:22:30,550
at that point, I started
making peace with God
426
00:22:30,551 --> 00:22:32,685
and peace with myself,
that if this is the way
427
00:22:32,686 --> 00:22:34,920
that we’re gonna go, at
least I’m with two people
428
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:36,856
that I really care about
and I love to death.
429
00:22:36,857 --> 00:22:39,459
(woeful music)
430
00:22:41,094 --> 00:22:42,528
- It was about 2:00 AM.
|
431
00:22:42,529 --> 00:22:44,830
I was kind of falling asleep
to be honest with you.
432
00:22:44,831 --> 00:22:48,267
I had all my radios on in
the house, as I usually do,
433
00:22:48,268 --> 00:22:52,338
and the first call came
out at around 2:02, 2:03,
434
00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:56,375
about an active shooter
inside the club Pulse.
435
00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:57,643
Within 30 seconds to a minute,
436
00:22:57,644 --> 00:23:00,713
the radios started
going pretty crazy.
437
00:23:00,714 --> 00:23:04,584
It took me about 15
minutes to get there.
438
00:23:04,585 --> 00:23:08,921
Once I did, what I saw was
just chaos, and carnage,
439
00:23:08,922 --> 00:23:10,591
and a lot of crying.
440
00:23:11,792 --> 00:23:14,193
I’ve never seen so
many people injured
441
00:23:14,194 --> 00:23:16,262
in one place at one time.
442
00:23:17,698 --> 00:23:18,898
There were so many injured
443
00:23:18,899 --> 00:23:21,867
that they didn’t have
enough ambulances.
444
00:23:21,868 --> 00:23:24,570
I positioned myself directly
across the street from Pulse.
445
00:23:24,571 --> 00:23:25,738
Never saw the shooter.
446
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:26,972
It was so weird.
447
00:23:26,973 --> 00:23:28,407
Even though it was so
loud, at the same time,
448
00:23:28,408 --> 00:23:30,109
it was kind of eerie.
449
00:23:30,110 --> 00:23:33,412
It was quiet in a way, but
you still heard cell phones
450
00:23:33,413 --> 00:23:37,182
and sirens, the sound
of people crying,
451
00:23:37,183 --> 00:23:39,852
and cell phones going,
and cops yelling
452
00:23:39,853 --> 00:23:42,154
at each other to
try to communicate.
453
00:23:42,155 --> 00:23:44,758
(woeful music)
454
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:49,662
- [Dispatcher] (audio
muffled) The officers
455
00:23:49,663 --> 00:23:52,497
who are still
active in the area.
456
00:23:52,498 --> 00:23:54,700
- We got a door up
top with a sheet.
457
00:23:54,701 --> 00:23:56,268
- [Dispatcher] All right.
458
00:23:56,269 --> 00:23:58,337
I’m gonna see if we can
get that path for OPD
459
00:23:58,338 --> 00:23:59,872
and Metro (audio muffled)
establish a wide perimeter
460
00:23:59,873 --> 00:24:01,106
to see if we can contain
461
00:24:01,107 --> 00:24:05,511
if the shooter’s still
active and on the move.
462
00:24:05,512 --> 00:24:09,683
[Officer] Let FP know they’re
gonna need a lot of people.
463
00:24:20,093 --> 00:24:22,695
- These individuals
just lying on the floor,
464
00:24:22,696 --> 00:24:25,330
that is an image that
is embedded in my head.
465
00:24:25,331 --> 00:24:27,700
It’s like a tattoo in my head.
466
00:24:27,701 --> 00:24:30,804
- [Officer] Keep on
into the hallway.
467
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:41,647
- [Officer] All right.
|
468
00:24:41,648 --> 00:24:44,249
- [Dispatcher] How
far is the truck?
469
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:46,385
- There was a long time
|
470
00:24:46,386 --> 00:24:50,322
where I didn’t have
nothing else to look at.
471
00:24:50,323 --> 00:24:53,058
I would look at a door, but
then I would look back down
472
00:24:53,059 --> 00:24:56,629
at the bodies and hoping that
somebody would move again,
473
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:59,599
so we can maybe give
’em a fighting chance,
474
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,435
but for hours, and hours,
and hours, that was my view,
475
00:25:03,436 --> 00:25:06,138
just looking at the doors
and looking at the bodies,
476
00:25:06,139 --> 00:25:09,008
looking at the doors and
looking at the bodies.
477
00:25:09,009 --> 00:25:12,812
(cell phone ringing)
478
00:25:12,813 --> 00:25:14,179
- [Officer] Well, you
can’t retrieve my truck
479
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:15,749
until they get one.
480
00:25:28,795 --> 00:25:32,132
- When you finally
realize it’s gunfire,
481
00:25:33,634 --> 00:25:35,200
and you have to run out that
482
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:37,803
same way the gunfire’s coming
in, you’re not going to.
483
00:25:37,804 --> 00:25:39,004
You’re gonna retreat.
484
00:25:39,005 --> 00:25:40,906
You’re heading another way
485
00:25:40,907 --> 00:25:43,042
and thinking you’re
gonna hide in a bathroom.
486
00:25:43,043 --> 00:25:45,477
That might’ve been
the best bet for them.
487
00:25:45,478 --> 00:25:47,112
That’s what they were
probably thinking,
488
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:48,080
because at that point in time,
489
00:25:48,081 --> 00:25:49,715
you don’t know what’s going on.
490
00:25:49,716 --> 00:25:51,951
You don’t know if that
was shooting or not,
491
00:25:51,952 --> 00:25:54,186
and then you hear people
yelling and screaming.
492
00:25:54,187 --> 00:25:55,788
First thing you do is
maybe you grab your partner
493
00:25:55,789 --> 00:25:59,692
or you’re just gonna start
running and you saw a door,
494
00:25:59,693 --> 00:26:01,393
and that’s the first
door you went into,
495
00:26:01,394 --> 00:26:04,664
and sure enough it
was a bathroom, and
now you’re trapped.
496
00:26:04,665 --> 00:26:06,331
But did they think about that?
497
00:26:06,332 --> 00:26:09,935
No, they were just trying
to run to save their lives.
498
00:26:09,936 --> 00:26:13,039
- Where the fuck is
this coming from?
499
00:26:16,209 --> 00:26:18,945
(radio muffling)
500
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,889
Give us your hands.
501
00:26:31,658 --> 00:26:33,025
Orlando police.
502
00:26:33,026 --> 00:26:36,629
Is there anyone else
with you behind the bar?
503
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:39,032
Get down, get down, get down.
504
00:26:43,203 --> 00:26:44,269
Get down now!
505
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:45,805
On the ground.
506
00:26:45,806 --> 00:26:46,807
Get down.
507
00:26:54,114 --> 00:26:55,715
Hey, watch that door
to the right of you.
508
00:26:55,716 --> 00:26:57,617
- Somebody get on my right.
509
00:26:57,618 --> 00:26:58,450
- I got your right.
510
00:26:58,451 --> 00:26:59,384
- Get down.
511
00:26:59,385 --> 00:27:01,521
Get the fuck on my right.
512
00:27:01,522 --> 00:27:04,791
- Give me some more
on this right side.
513
00:27:08,829 --> 00:27:11,296
- There was a girl there
holding pressure to my wounds.
514
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:12,665
Her name was V.
515
00:27:12,666 --> 00:27:14,934
She pretty much saved
my life that night.
516
00:27:14,935 --> 00:27:16,769
She kept me awake and alert.
517
00:27:16,770 --> 00:27:19,572
She wouldn’t let
me close my eyes.
518
00:27:19,573 --> 00:27:23,577
And I just remember choking
or throwing up blood
519
00:27:25,078 --> 00:27:27,413
because of where I was shot.
520
00:27:29,115 --> 00:27:30,215
- I called my mom.
521
00:27:30,216 --> 00:27:31,717
My phone was about to die.
522
00:27:31,718 --> 00:27:34,620
Called my mom, and I was only
able to get out, "Mom, mom."
523
00:27:34,621 --> 00:27:37,523
And I phone hung up
’cause he was coming in,
524
00:27:37,524 --> 00:27:39,491
so I freaked out.
525
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:41,293
- When he came back
the second time,
526
00:27:41,294 --> 00:27:43,996
he pretty much just
started laughing again,
527
00:27:43,997 --> 00:27:46,566
and then reached over
the stall with a handgun.
528
00:27:46,567 --> 00:27:49,535
- And we just all kind of,
just again, fetal position.
529
00:27:49,536 --> 00:27:52,505
And that’s when I got
hit on my right side.
530
00:27:52,506 --> 00:27:55,541
It was just heat all over
my body, all over my body,
531
00:27:55,542 --> 00:27:59,645
and I just, I feel like
I might have fainted,
532
00:27:59,646 --> 00:28:01,180
but I don’t really remember.
533
00:28:01,181 --> 00:28:03,783
I just know I closed my eyes
and I woke up really quick,
534
00:28:03,784 --> 00:28:05,918
and he was no longer
in the bathroom.
535
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:09,254
(suspenseful music)
536
00:28:09,255 --> 00:28:11,390
The sergeant and
lieutenant told us, "Okay,
537
00:28:11,391 --> 00:28:13,192
"let’s step back now."
538
00:28:13,193 --> 00:28:14,927
So we made our way from inside
539
00:28:14,928 --> 00:28:16,962
to just outside into
the parking lot.
540
00:28:16,963 --> 00:28:19,464
We were all told to come
out, because, again,
541
00:28:19,465 --> 00:28:21,433
of the bombs that were there,
542
00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:24,270
the alleged bombs
that were there.
543
00:28:58,672 --> 00:29:00,573
- All of a sudden, there
was a huge explosion
544
00:29:00,574 --> 00:29:03,709
that rocked the bathroom,
literally rocked the bathroom.
545
00:29:03,710 --> 00:29:06,211
(intense booming)
(people screaming)
546
00:29:06,212 --> 00:29:09,215
(suspenseful music)
547
00:29:19,259 --> 00:29:24,063
- You can hear him shooting,
and it was maybe two
548
00:29:24,064 --> 00:29:27,800
or three shots, and then
it was SWAT just unloading.
549
00:29:27,801 --> 00:29:31,237
(rifles rapidly banging)
550
00:29:32,405 --> 00:29:35,440
I lifted up my phone in
case any stray bullets
551
00:29:35,441 --> 00:29:40,012
of the cops or him wouldn’t
ricochet off the walls
552
00:29:40,013 --> 00:29:41,480
and hit me in the head.
553
00:29:41,481 --> 00:29:42,882
- My cousin, I
had her on my lap.
554
00:29:42,883 --> 00:29:44,249
The little bit of
strength I had in my arm,
555
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:47,052
I used to pull her on
me and pick her head up
556
00:29:47,053 --> 00:29:49,889
so the water wouldn’t run,
’cause when they blew it down,
557
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:51,591
the pipe was running still.
558
00:29:51,592 --> 00:29:53,192
And then, I’m telling
’em, "Please take her.
559
00:29:53,193 --> 00:29:54,326
"Just take her."
560
00:29:54,327 --> 00:29:55,861
"No, we gotta take you first."
561
00:29:55,862 --> 00:29:58,664
That’s what one of the
rescue people said to me.
562
00:29:58,665 --> 00:29:59,665
"We gotta take you first."
563
00:29:59,666 --> 00:30:00,533
I’m like, "No, take her.
564
00:30:00,534 --> 00:30:01,567
"She’s still breathing.
565
00:30:01,568 --> 00:30:04,069
"I’m okay. She’s breathing."
566
00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:05,237
They didn’t listen to me at all,
567
00:30:05,238 --> 00:30:06,438
obviously, ’cause she died.
568
00:30:06,439 --> 00:30:08,874
They left her in the club.
569
00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:10,196
We found...
|
570
00:30:10,877 --> 00:30:13,413
- They left her
in the club, yeah.
571
00:30:16,282 --> 00:30:17,564
- Mm-hmm.
|
572
00:30:19,185 --> 00:30:20,219
- Because they don’t listen.
|
573
00:30:20,220 --> 00:30:21,420
I don’t know. I don’t know.
574
00:30:21,421 --> 00:30:22,922
I can’t speak for them.
575
00:30:22,923 --> 00:30:26,058
I really don’t, and every
time I think about that,
576
00:30:26,059 --> 00:30:27,827
I get real upset.
577
00:30:27,828 --> 00:30:30,429
- I think the police,
more than everybody,
578
00:30:30,430 --> 00:30:31,897
were the most scared.
579
00:30:31,898 --> 00:30:33,833
This is their first time
coming in, seeing all this.
580
00:30:33,834 --> 00:30:35,434
And they’re just like,
"Raise your hands.
581
00:30:35,435 --> 00:30:36,902
"Raise your hands."
582
00:30:36,903 --> 00:30:38,170
They said, "Are there any other
shooters in the bathroom?"
583
00:30:38,171 --> 00:30:40,272
We’re like, "No."
584
00:30:40,273 --> 00:30:41,507
- They dug me out.
585
00:30:41,508 --> 00:30:43,208
They had to escort
me to a pickup truck.
586
00:30:43,209 --> 00:30:44,476
They put me there.
587
00:30:44,477 --> 00:30:46,078
They brought another
victim that was shot,
588
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:48,948
which I believe it
was Tiara Parker,
589
00:30:48,949 --> 00:30:51,283
and she was just
about to really faint.
590
00:30:51,284 --> 00:30:53,418
- They grabbed me by
my arms and my legs
591
00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:57,923
and carried me to the
back of the black F-150.
592
00:30:57,924 --> 00:31:00,192
And I just remember them asking
for a phone number to call,
593
00:31:00,193 --> 00:31:02,327
and I gave ’em my
mom’s phone number,
594
00:31:02,328 --> 00:31:04,530
the only one I can memorize.
595
00:31:04,531 --> 00:31:06,132
And the wind hit me
596
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:10,002
and everything went
black after that.
597
00:31:10,003 --> 00:31:12,573
(woeful music)
598
00:31:46,172 --> 00:31:49,009
(camera clicking)
599
00:31:50,511 --> 00:31:53,346
(camera clicking)
600
00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:57,482
- I got the call in the morning.
|
601
00:31:57,483 --> 00:31:59,852
It was the chief of
staff, and he said,
602
00:31:59,853 --> 00:32:01,353
"Are you sitting down?"
|
603
00:32:01,354 --> 00:32:02,588
And when the chief of staff of
the city of Orlando asks you
604
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:04,023
if you’re sitting down,
it’s never good news.
605
00:32:04,024 --> 00:32:05,490
And I said, "What happened?"
606
00:32:05,491 --> 00:32:06,491
And he goes, "You haven’t
seen any of the news?"
607
00:32:06,492 --> 00:32:08,995
I’m like, "No, no, I haven’t."
608
00:32:11,031 --> 00:32:12,264
- Today, we’re
dealing with something
609
00:32:12,265 --> 00:32:15,869
that we never imagined
and is unimaginable.
610
00:32:16,903 --> 00:32:18,470
Since the last update,
|
611
00:32:18,471 --> 00:32:20,439
we have gotten better
access to the building.
612
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,109
We have cleared the building,
and it is with great sadness
613
00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:27,780
that I share that we have
not 20 but 50 casualties.
614
00:32:27,781 --> 00:32:31,384
There are another 53
that are hospitalized.
615
00:32:32,653 --> 00:32:34,787
- There was a press conference,
and I think we heard
616
00:32:34,788 --> 00:32:36,690
for the first time, 49.
|
617
00:32:38,091 --> 00:32:41,561
And you think,
that’s not a number
618
00:32:41,562 --> 00:32:43,095
for a downtown club shooting.
|
619
00:32:43,096 --> 00:32:45,331
That’s a number from a war.
620
00:32:48,201 --> 00:32:50,870
Orlando, which was known
for family vacations
621
00:32:50,871 --> 00:32:53,205
and fun became synonymous
622
00:32:53,206 --> 00:32:57,643
with the biggest mass
killing in American history.
623
00:32:57,644 --> 00:33:00,613
(camera clicking)
624
00:33:00,614 --> 00:33:02,682
- It really did seem
surreal, and I remember one
625
00:33:02,683 --> 00:33:05,150
of the first thinks that
I said was, "Oh, God.
626
00:33:05,151 --> 00:33:06,986
"Please don’t let this be
the largest mass shooting
627
00:33:06,987 --> 00:33:08,420
in America," and it ended
628
00:33:08,421 --> 00:33:10,489
up being the largest
mass shooting in America.
629
00:33:10,490 --> 00:33:13,993
(camera clicking)
630
00:33:13,994 --> 00:33:17,797
- Our focus is going to be
on identifying the victims.
631
00:33:17,798 --> 00:33:21,066
The identification process
may take some time,
632
00:33:21,067 --> 00:33:22,935
so we ask for your patience,
633
00:33:22,936 --> 00:33:25,605
because we want to be accurate.
634
00:33:25,606 --> 00:33:29,108
Concerned family members can
call the hotline, however,
635
00:33:29,109 --> 00:33:31,110
and let them know
that you have someone
636
00:33:31,111 --> 00:33:33,212
that you are concerned about.
637
00:33:33,213 --> 00:33:35,615
- I first got out there, and
what really struck me was
638
00:33:35,616 --> 00:33:37,783
that nobody was
saying the word gay.
639
00:33:37,784 --> 00:33:39,719
And I remember
everybody else had left,
640
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,887
and they talked about how
many people had been shot,
641
00:33:41,888 --> 00:33:44,356
and I said, "Nobody
said that they were gay.
642
00:33:44,357 --> 00:33:45,858
"I can’t have this.
643
00:33:45,859 --> 00:33:48,160
"It has to be said who they
were and why they were shot."
644
00:33:48,161 --> 00:33:51,263
(camera clicking)
645
00:33:51,264 --> 00:33:54,166
- I just wanna say that
we as a gay community,
646
00:33:54,167 --> 00:33:56,936
gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender
community are a people
|||||||||||
647
00:33:56,937 --> 00:33:59,572
who love, and if you
think that you’re going
648
00:33:59,573 --> 00:34:00,906
to stab at the heart of us
649
00:34:00,907 --> 00:34:03,576
by doing this horrible,
violent act, you’re not,
650
00:34:03,577 --> 00:34:07,747
because we are a
resilient people, and
we’re gonna show you,
651
00:34:07,748 --> 00:34:10,215
in the face of this, that we’re
gonna have people lined out
652
00:34:10,216 --> 00:34:11,984
behind those blood banks.
653
00:34:11,985 --> 00:34:14,587
We’re gonna show what the
good heart of humanity is,
654
00:34:14,588 --> 00:34:16,989
not the bad, horrible
part of it is,
655
00:34:16,990 --> 00:34:19,859
and you cannot get your message
across by killing people.
656
00:34:19,860 --> 00:34:22,027
You’re nothing but
thugs and murderers,
657
00:34:22,028 --> 00:34:24,363
and we will show you that
we are a better community
658
00:34:24,364 --> 00:34:25,931
and a better America than this.
659
00:34:25,932 --> 00:34:26,933
Thank you.
660
00:34:28,569 --> 00:34:30,603
They were from the
LGBTQ community.
661
00:34:30,604 --> 00:34:31,771
They were from the
Hispanic community.
662
00:34:31,772 --> 00:34:32,938
It was Latin Night.
663
00:34:32,939 --> 00:34:34,507
There were many
people of color there,
664
00:34:34,508 --> 00:34:36,041
and even though I’ve gotten
a lot of political pressure
665
00:34:36,042 --> 00:34:38,343
from that since, I don’t care.
666
00:34:38,344 --> 00:34:39,612
It’s the right thing to do.
667
00:34:39,613 --> 00:34:41,113
It’s the right thing to
talk about who they were
668
00:34:41,114 --> 00:34:42,715
and what they dealt with.
669
00:34:42,716 --> 00:34:45,685
Who else doesn’t have
their family claim them,
670
00:34:45,686 --> 00:34:48,420
their body, because they don’t
agree with their lifestyle?
671
00:34:48,421 --> 00:34:50,857
Nobody but the gay community.
672
00:34:52,893 --> 00:34:55,395
(eerie music)
673
00:35:04,104 --> 00:35:06,171
- It’s the greatest
nightmare out of all this,
674
00:35:06,172 --> 00:35:11,010
the notion that you are in
a spot, maybe dying out,
675
00:35:11,011 --> 00:35:13,445
maybe bleeding out, maybe
your friend is passing,
676
00:35:13,446 --> 00:35:17,650
and help is right there,
maybe four feet away
677
00:35:17,651 --> 00:35:21,020
on the other side
of a concrete wall,
678
00:35:21,021 --> 00:35:23,956
and it’s not coming for
five minutes, 10 minutes,
679
00:35:23,957 --> 00:35:27,292
an hour, two hours, three hours.
680
00:35:27,293 --> 00:35:30,029
That’s the stuff
nightmares are made of.
681
00:35:30,030 --> 00:35:31,296
- I was like, "My God."
682
00:35:31,297 --> 00:35:32,865
I said, "Did they
forget about us?"
683
00:35:32,866 --> 00:35:34,499
These are just
normal human thoughts
684
00:35:34,501 --> 00:35:35,701
that anybody would think,
685
00:35:35,702 --> 00:35:37,436
and that’s what I was thinking,
686
00:35:37,437 --> 00:35:39,839
’cause I know the cops are
there, but when hearing them
687
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,907
on the other side,
I hear voices.
688
00:35:41,908 --> 00:35:45,578
I hear others answering
others out there,
689
00:35:45,579 --> 00:35:47,747
and it was in a calm mode.
690
00:35:47,748 --> 00:35:48,981
Everything was quiet.
691
00:35:48,982 --> 00:35:51,416
- I don’t understand
why it took three hours.
692
00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:53,385
Why couldn’t you go
through the front door,
693
00:35:53,386 --> 00:35:56,556
sneak your way in
or work your way in,
694
00:35:56,557 --> 00:35:58,357
knowing that you
have the blueprints?
695
00:35:58,358 --> 00:35:59,625
You know what you’re doing.
696
00:35:59,626 --> 00:36:01,326
You guys are trained
in stuff like this.
697
00:36:01,327 --> 00:36:02,895
- I’m angry.
|
698
00:36:02,896 --> 00:36:07,067
And then, when you get to hear
that they was not equipped
699
00:36:09,202 --> 00:36:11,872
for nothing like this, it hurts.
|
700
00:36:20,413 --> 00:36:21,246
- Yes.
|
701
00:36:21,247 --> 00:36:22,682
Mm-hmm.
702
00:36:22,683 --> 00:36:25,851
Gonna keep happening
over, and over, and over.
703
00:36:25,852 --> 00:36:26,919
- [Charlie] You said you
used to work at Pulse?
704
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,153
- Mm-hmm.
|
705
00:36:28,154 --> 00:36:29,388
- [Charlie] What were
you doing, exactly?
706
00:36:29,389 --> 00:36:30,856
- I was a club promoter,
and I also took photos
707
00:36:30,857 --> 00:36:32,925
on the back patio, so I
was a picture lady at first
708
00:36:32,926 --> 00:36:34,960
when I first started, and then I
|
709
00:36:34,961 --> 00:36:36,495
eventually started
doing my own parties
710
00:36:36,496 --> 00:36:38,998
and being paid to promote
the hip-hop parties.
711
00:36:38,999 --> 00:36:40,265
- [Charlie] To the
best of your knowledge,
712
00:36:40,266 --> 00:36:42,101
was there cameras
inside the Pulse?
713
00:36:42,102 --> 00:36:43,268
- Yes, there
definitely is cameras.
714
00:36:43,269 --> 00:36:44,537
- [Charlie] Okay.
715
00:36:44,538 --> 00:36:46,105
And one of the victims
told me that video has
716
00:36:46,106 --> 00:36:50,276
never been seen by anybody
except, maybe, a chosen few.
717
00:36:51,277 --> 00:36:53,278
- I’m sure. I’m sure.
718
00:36:53,279 --> 00:36:54,479
- [Charlie] Do you think
719
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,449
that video would reveal
anything important?
720
00:36:57,450 --> 00:36:59,952
- I think that video
would reveal a lot.
721
00:36:59,953 --> 00:37:02,354
I know of a few people that
have definitely come to me
722
00:37:02,355 --> 00:37:04,557
and have reached out
to different reporters
723
00:37:04,558 --> 00:37:08,127
to try to get a story to be
taken outside of Orlando,
724
00:37:08,128 --> 00:37:11,864
because Orlando refuses to
report on certain things.
725
00:37:11,865 --> 00:37:13,065
There’s just certain things
726
00:37:13,066 --> 00:37:16,035
that will never
hit the media here.
727
00:37:16,036 --> 00:37:20,305
- I’m mad that my best friend
had to lay there and die.
728
00:37:20,306 --> 00:37:22,308
Why didn’t they move in?
|
729
00:37:23,744 --> 00:37:26,712
That’s their job title is,
to take a bullet, right?
730
00:37:26,713 --> 00:37:27,980
- To give their...
|
731
00:37:27,981 --> 00:37:28,914
- Serve and protect.
- Serve and protect.
732
00:37:28,915 --> 00:37:30,415
You guys have armor.
|
733
00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:34,286
You have all the right tools
and the success to do it,
734
00:37:34,287 --> 00:37:37,023
but that’s the me
being mad side.
735
00:37:38,892 --> 00:37:41,961
But me being human, if I
was put in that situation,
736
00:37:41,962 --> 00:37:44,664
would I want to go in,
or would I want to wait
737
00:37:44,665 --> 00:37:46,498
and try to think about
what we’re gonna do
738
00:37:46,499 --> 00:37:49,268
because we’ve never been in
a situation like this before,
739
00:37:49,269 --> 00:37:50,903
and we don’t
understand what to do?
740
00:37:50,904 --> 00:37:52,271
(eerie music)
741
00:37:52,272 --> 00:37:55,274
- I get that you
probably wasn’t prepared.
742
00:37:55,275 --> 00:37:58,243
But if you’re plan
was to come busting
743
00:37:58,244 --> 00:38:00,479
through the walls
the way y’all did,
744
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,248
you put as risk regardless,
745
00:38:03,249 --> 00:38:05,551
because this man was
saying he had bombs.
746
00:38:05,552 --> 00:38:07,019
And then, to find
out that they were
747
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:08,688
in the building the whole
time, y’all should’ve
748
00:38:08,689 --> 00:38:10,389
just came in the bathroom.
749
00:38:10,390 --> 00:38:13,458
(eerie music)
750
00:38:13,459 --> 00:38:17,129
- On the morning of June
12th, the night of Pulse,
751
00:38:17,130 --> 00:38:19,464
I arrived approximately anywhere
752
00:38:19,465 --> 00:38:22,235
from 2:05 to 2:10
in the morning.
753
00:38:23,837 --> 00:38:24,904
- [Charlie] Who’s life
is more important,
754
00:38:24,905 --> 00:38:26,706
yours or the civilians?
755
00:38:26,707 --> 00:38:28,307
- Definitely the
civilians, because that’s
756
00:38:28,308 --> 00:38:30,209
why we took this oath.
757
00:38:30,210 --> 00:38:32,612
To become a police officer,
you have to understand
758
00:38:32,613 --> 00:38:35,815
and grasp that concept that
you’re going to be running
759
00:38:35,816 --> 00:38:38,584
into danger when
everybody’s running out.
760
00:38:38,585 --> 00:38:42,555
- In your opinion, is three
hours and 12 minutes too long
761
00:38:42,556 --> 00:38:44,690
for police to finally
take down a shooter?
762
00:38:44,691 --> 00:38:47,727
- I can’t really say if that
was enough time or not due
763
00:38:47,728 --> 00:38:51,463
to the fact that we didn’t
know what was happening.
764
00:38:51,464 --> 00:38:52,965
We didn’t know who he was.
765
00:38:52,966 --> 00:38:54,366
We didn’t know
how many shooters.
766
00:38:54,367 --> 00:38:56,636
We didn’t know where he was.
767
00:38:56,637 --> 00:38:59,705
Did he sneak out with
the rest of the people?
768
00:38:59,706 --> 00:39:01,206
We didn’t know.
769
00:39:01,207 --> 00:39:03,408
It wasn’t till later, when
he heard the gunshots again,
770
00:39:03,409 --> 00:39:07,146
that we knew he was still
inside the building somewhere.
771
00:39:07,147 --> 00:39:09,515
- Was there shooting
throughout the morning?
772
00:39:09,516 --> 00:39:11,517
You heard the
shots from outside,
773
00:39:11,518 --> 00:39:13,686
and then you run in
through the patio.
774
00:39:13,687 --> 00:39:15,655
You make your way inside.
775
00:39:15,656 --> 00:39:19,559
And then, how long was it
before you heard the next shots?
776
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,527
- I can’t recall.
|
777
00:39:21,528 --> 00:39:24,764
It might have been half hour.
|
778
00:39:24,765 --> 00:39:26,832
It might have been an hour.
|
779
00:39:26,833 --> 00:39:29,535
I just don’t recall,
but it was some time
780
00:39:29,536 --> 00:39:34,073
before the next set
of (mimics gunfire).
781
00:39:34,074 --> 00:39:36,509
And could have
that been the time
782
00:39:36,510 --> 00:39:38,310
where he was in the
bathroom, and supposedly,
783
00:39:38,311 --> 00:39:40,479
he shot people in the bathroom?
784
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,747
It might have been.
785
00:39:41,748 --> 00:39:43,583
- [Charlie] So at that
point, did officers go
786
00:39:43,584 --> 00:39:46,319
towards the sound
of the gunfire?
787
00:39:47,453 --> 00:39:50,022
- That sound is echoing
all over the place.
788
00:39:50,023 --> 00:39:52,958
If they knew at that time
that’s where he was at,
789
00:39:52,959 --> 00:39:56,261
then if there were
officers in that area,
790
00:39:56,262 --> 00:39:57,830
I don’t really know.
791
00:39:57,831 --> 00:39:59,899
- Okay, and then
how much after that,
792
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:02,502
how long after that did you
hear the next series of...
793
00:40:02,503 --> 00:40:04,336
- There were no more
shots after that.
794
00:40:04,337 --> 00:40:05,170
- No more?
795
00:40:05,171 --> 00:40:06,606
- No.
796
00:40:06,607 --> 00:40:07,840
- [Charlie] So then, the police
saying most of the people
797
00:40:07,841 --> 00:40:10,275
that were shot in the
first five minutes,
798
00:40:10,276 --> 00:40:11,777
that’s accurate, you think?
799
00:40:11,778 --> 00:40:13,779
- I believe so, ’cause the
amount of people laying
800
00:40:13,780 --> 00:40:17,951
on that floor, to this day,
haunts me, and it just...
801
00:40:19,185 --> 00:40:20,419
There were a lot
of people there,
802
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:22,354
a lot of people laying
on that floor instantly,
803
00:40:22,355 --> 00:40:23,823
before I even walked in.
804
00:40:23,824 --> 00:40:26,326
(eerie music)
805
00:41:00,894 --> 00:41:03,729
- Why didn’t police follow
him into the bathroom?
806
00:41:03,730 --> 00:41:05,798
- I personally, ’cause
my radio never worked.
807
00:41:05,799 --> 00:41:07,867
I personally didn’t know
he was in the bathroom.
808
00:41:07,868 --> 00:41:10,002
I didn’t find out about
this till much later.
809
00:41:10,003 --> 00:41:13,506
- Law enforcement was taking
out those that were injured
810
00:41:13,507 --> 00:41:15,440
as fast as they
could take them out.
811
00:41:15,441 --> 00:41:16,942
They were checking pulses.
|
812
00:41:16,943 --> 00:41:19,078
They were bringing out the
ones who still had a pulse.
813
00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:22,582
The idea that people
were just laying
814
00:41:22,583 --> 00:41:25,885
in Pulse dying is not
an accurate reflection
815
00:41:25,886 --> 00:41:27,452
at all of what happened.
816
00:41:27,453 --> 00:41:31,891
When the police responded,
they negotiated with the gunman
817
00:41:31,892 --> 00:41:34,727
and tried to resolve this issue,
818
00:41:34,728 --> 00:41:36,896
believing that he
had planted a bomb.
819
00:41:36,897 --> 00:41:38,631
He was very clear about.
820
00:41:38,632 --> 00:41:40,933
I think the correct
protocol is to try
821
00:41:40,934 --> 00:41:42,502
to save the lives
that you can save
822
00:41:42,503 --> 00:41:43,936
(camera clicking)
823
00:41:43,937 --> 00:41:45,404
that are in the bathroom,
knowing that some
824
00:41:45,405 --> 00:41:48,140
of them may not be saved because
they’ve already been shot,
825
00:41:48,141 --> 00:41:51,443
but not risking the rest of
them that were still alive.
826
00:41:51,444 --> 00:41:54,747
- The problem was this man
was trained enough in security
827
00:41:54,748 --> 00:41:57,216
to know that that would
slow the response,
828
00:41:57,217 --> 00:42:00,219
because you’re not going to go
829
00:42:00,220 --> 00:42:02,588
into a hostage
situation with a bomb,
830
00:42:02,589 --> 00:42:04,089
(camera clicking)
831
00:42:04,090 --> 00:42:05,424
’cause then everybody could die.
832
00:42:05,425 --> 00:42:08,428
(suspenseful music)
833
00:42:10,330 --> 00:42:13,966
- Now, in 1999, the
SWAT policy changed
834
00:42:13,967 --> 00:42:16,301
because of Columbine, where
you’re supposed to go in
835
00:42:16,302 --> 00:42:18,704
and get the active shooter?
836
00:42:18,705 --> 00:42:20,205
Why do you think they
didn’t go in there,
837
00:42:20,206 --> 00:42:22,074
into the bathroom,
to get the shooter?
838
00:42:22,075 --> 00:42:25,811
- Well, in my opinion, first
responders were already there,
839
00:42:25,812 --> 00:42:29,749
so the scene was already,
per se, secured in a sense
840
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:32,051
that, okay, no one
else is coming in
841
00:42:32,052 --> 00:42:33,653
and no one else is coming out.
842
00:42:33,654 --> 00:42:35,154
So now, did they
know where he was at?
843
00:42:35,155 --> 00:42:35,988
I don’t know.
844
00:42:35,989 --> 00:42:37,823
I wish I can tell you.
845
00:42:37,824 --> 00:42:40,425
Did they have an idea
he was in the bathroom?
846
00:42:40,426 --> 00:42:42,494
But even if they did,
they pretty much have
847
00:42:42,495 --> 00:42:45,130
to follow the rules of,
okay, just because I came
848
00:42:45,131 --> 00:42:48,100
in through one place, and I
know an officer was there,
849
00:42:48,101 --> 00:42:50,870
I still need to come in and
search that whole, entire place.
850
00:42:50,871 --> 00:42:53,272
- How many officers were
inside the Pulse nightclub
851
00:42:53,273 --> 00:42:54,840
when you went in there?
852
00:42:54,841 --> 00:42:59,211
- It might have been maybe a
handful, maybe 10, if that.
853
00:42:59,212 --> 00:43:01,647
- And what were
they doing exactly?
854
00:43:01,648 --> 00:43:04,083
- They were guarding
one entrance,
855
00:43:04,084 --> 00:43:06,351
the main entrance that
they came in through.
856
00:43:06,352 --> 00:43:07,753
Myself and a few
other officers came
857
00:43:07,754 --> 00:43:08,921
in through the patio entrance,
858
00:43:08,922 --> 00:43:10,790
and we were guarding
that entrance,
859
00:43:10,791 --> 00:43:14,994
so our only focus was that
we can see were two doors,
860
00:43:14,995 --> 00:43:17,396
one that was leading
toward the other dance hall
861
00:43:17,397 --> 00:43:19,732
and one door that
led to the kitchen.
862
00:43:19,733 --> 00:43:24,169
As more officers came in, then
yes, those officers now moved
863
00:43:24,170 --> 00:43:27,740
over to where that door
was and that other entrance
864
00:43:27,741 --> 00:43:29,709
to the other dance floor.
865
00:43:29,710 --> 00:43:31,143
- So you never even
saw the shooter going
866
00:43:31,144 --> 00:43:32,578
between the bathrooms?
867
00:43:32,579 --> 00:43:33,779
- No, I did not.
868
00:43:33,780 --> 00:43:36,248
Never heard him on
the phone or verbally.
869
00:43:36,249 --> 00:43:38,851
And keep in mind, if he
was where he said he was
870
00:43:38,852 --> 00:43:41,621
in a bathroom and where
I was, I was pretty much
871
00:43:41,622 --> 00:43:44,256
on the front entrance of
one of the dance floor,
872
00:43:44,257 --> 00:43:46,592
and he was all the
way toward the back
873
00:43:46,593 --> 00:43:47,827
of the other restrooms.
874
00:43:47,828 --> 00:43:49,995
- Where do you think
this shooter entered?
875
00:43:49,996 --> 00:43:53,933
- When I made entry
through the patio door,
876
00:43:53,934 --> 00:43:58,771
just hearing the casings on the
floor as we stepped on them,
877
00:43:58,772 --> 00:44:02,007
there were a lot of .223
rounds on the floor.
878
00:44:02,008 --> 00:44:05,645
With all the casings that
kind of led into the club,
879
00:44:05,646 --> 00:44:08,814
that just kind of
makes me believe
880
00:44:08,815 --> 00:44:10,550
that he came in
through the patio.
881
00:44:10,551 --> 00:44:13,018
- How do you think he
got those two weapons in?
882
00:44:13,019 --> 00:44:15,054
- Keep in mind,
Charlie, it’s dark.
883
00:44:15,055 --> 00:44:16,589
It’s crowded.
|
884
00:44:16,590 --> 00:44:17,923
A lot of people are not in
their right state of mind,
885
00:44:17,924 --> 00:44:19,759
meaning that they’re sober.
|
886
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,493
Maybe some are. Some weren’t.
|
887
00:44:21,494 --> 00:44:24,029
If you are gonna walk
in with an assault rifle
888
00:44:24,030 --> 00:44:27,299
and a handgun, seriously,
who’s gonna stop you?
889
00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:29,234
- So you think, maybe, he
caught everyone off guard.
890
00:44:29,235 --> 00:44:30,402
Maybe they’re tired.
891
00:44:30,403 --> 00:44:33,607
- Definitely a perfect
time to come in.
892
00:44:37,110 --> 00:44:39,645
- Between you and others.
|
893
00:44:39,646 --> 00:44:40,613
- Maybe four or five.
894
00:44:40,614 --> 00:44:42,281
Maybe six.
895
00:44:42,282 --> 00:44:43,564
- Yeah.
|
896
00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:45,732
- Yeah.
|
897
00:44:48,054 --> 00:44:52,592
- Are you angry that it
took the Orlando police SWAT
898
00:44:52,593 --> 00:44:55,160
over three hours to
take down the killer?
899
00:44:55,161 --> 00:44:58,664
- Of course I’m angry, because
I was a police officer myself
900
00:44:58,665 --> 00:45:01,834
for over 10 years, 10 1/2 years.
901
00:45:01,835 --> 00:45:03,335
This is an active shooter.
902
00:45:03,336 --> 00:45:05,370
He’s killing people.
903
00:45:05,371 --> 00:45:08,107
You have to put yourself,
as a police officer,
904
00:45:08,108 --> 00:45:11,176
if you don’t want that
job, get another job.
905
00:45:11,177 --> 00:45:14,514
But as a police officer,
you have to put yourself
906
00:45:14,515 --> 00:45:18,017
between the victim
and the shooter
907
00:45:18,018 --> 00:45:21,320
so that you can protect society.
908
00:45:21,321 --> 00:45:22,955
You’re a protector.
909
00:45:22,956 --> 00:45:24,389
You’re not a coward.
910
00:45:24,390 --> 00:45:25,959
You protect people.
911
00:45:28,595 --> 00:45:30,996
When the killer first
went in the club,
912
00:45:30,997 --> 00:45:33,332
he shot a lot of people
up, went outside,
913
00:45:33,333 --> 00:45:35,034
had a shootout in
the parking lot.
914
00:45:35,035 --> 00:45:37,737
Then, he ran back in
the club, and that’s
915
00:45:37,738 --> 00:45:41,406
when the cops went in
there and started shooting
916
00:45:41,407 --> 00:45:44,744
up innocent people who
were probably trying
917
00:45:44,745 --> 00:45:46,546
to run out of the club.
918
00:45:46,547 --> 00:45:48,714
That’s what the police
chief is saying,
919
00:45:48,715 --> 00:45:50,249
that yeah, there are going
to be some of the kids
920
00:45:50,250 --> 00:45:53,218
in the club that got shot
and killed by the police,
921
00:45:53,219 --> 00:45:55,521
but it’s not gonna be the
police officer’s fault.
922
00:45:55,522 --> 00:45:57,524
It’s the killer’s fault.
923
00:46:04,430 --> 00:46:05,965
- I can’t comment on that.
924
00:46:05,966 --> 00:46:07,099
I don’t know.
925
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:08,367
That officer that’s out there.
926
00:46:08,368 --> 00:46:09,401
He’s a human being.
927
00:46:09,402 --> 00:46:11,571
That’s a moving target.
928
00:46:11,572 --> 00:46:13,438
If we put a handgun
in your hand,
929
00:46:13,439 --> 00:46:16,241
and we tell you to hit
this moving target.
930
00:46:16,242 --> 00:46:17,242
You’ve got 10 shots.
931
00:46:17,243 --> 00:46:18,210
How many times will you hit it?
932
00:46:18,211 --> 00:46:19,212
It’s hard.
933
00:46:21,081 --> 00:46:24,985
- Why are the police
acting like they’re heroes
934
00:46:27,588 --> 00:46:29,855
and they’ve done
such a good job,
935
00:46:29,856 --> 00:46:33,993
when there’s so much
glaring incompetence.
936
00:46:33,994 --> 00:46:37,162
It’s almost like they’re
doing the opposite.
937
00:46:37,163 --> 00:46:41,400
By saying how great they
were, they’re getting the heat
938
00:46:41,401 --> 00:46:44,237
off them for what
really happened.
939
00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:49,609
The medical examiner will
verify that some died
940
00:46:49,610 --> 00:46:52,311
from nonfatal wounds
from bleeding to death.
941
00:46:52,312 --> 00:46:54,881
(woeful music)
942
00:47:02,155 --> 00:47:04,057
He was a perfect child.
943
00:47:05,091 --> 00:47:06,458
He was perfect for me.
944
00:47:06,459 --> 00:47:07,893
I was perfect for him.
945
00:47:07,894 --> 00:47:09,895
That’s why I decided
I was never going
946
00:47:09,896 --> 00:47:11,096
to have any more kids.
947
00:47:11,097 --> 00:47:12,998
I thought there’s no
way I’m gonna have a kid
948
00:47:12,999 --> 00:47:14,900
that’s gonna be better
than Christopher.
949
00:47:14,901 --> 00:47:16,268
(camera clicking)
950
00:47:16,269 --> 00:47:17,837
Always wanting to move.
951
00:47:17,838 --> 00:47:20,039
He couldn’t wait to roll over.
952
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,042
He’d get frustrated if he
couldn’t roll himself over.
953
00:47:23,043 --> 00:47:24,877
And then, when he could
figure out how to roll over,
954
00:47:24,878 --> 00:47:26,445
he couldn’t wait to crawl.
955
00:47:26,446 --> 00:47:28,180
Then, he couldn’t wait to walk.
956
00:47:28,181 --> 00:47:30,015
Then, he couldn’t wait
to ride a bicycle.
957
00:47:30,016 --> 00:47:32,384
Then, he couldn’t wait to
get his license and drive.
958
00:47:32,385 --> 00:47:33,886
He loved dancing.
959
00:47:33,887 --> 00:47:36,288
He would go all over the state
to all these different malls
960
00:47:36,289 --> 00:47:38,658
that had the DDR
setup in the mall.
961
00:47:38,659 --> 00:47:40,793
(camera clicking)
962
00:47:40,794 --> 00:47:43,796
He was a licensed
mental health therapist.
963
00:47:43,797 --> 00:47:47,533
He had his graduate degree
in clinical psychology.
964
00:47:47,534 --> 00:47:51,471
Christopher had dated
various guys before Juan,
965
00:47:52,873 --> 00:47:55,140
but Juan was the first
guy that Christopher dated
966
00:47:55,141 --> 00:47:59,612
since the Supreme Court,
the equal marriage act.
967
00:47:59,613 --> 00:48:01,280
When he met Juan,
968
00:48:01,281 --> 00:48:03,315
I could see that was a
different relationship,
969
00:48:03,316 --> 00:48:06,085
’cause this was a
guy now he would say,
970
00:48:06,086 --> 00:48:08,320
"I think I might be
able to marry Juan.
971
00:48:08,321 --> 00:48:09,922
"This might be the guy for me."
972
00:48:09,923 --> 00:48:13,659
And their relationship
started growing
973
00:48:13,660 --> 00:48:16,328
to where they had
their own language,
974
00:48:16,329 --> 00:48:20,501
the language of a couple, the
language of a couple in love.
975
00:48:21,434 --> 00:48:24,136
Juan worked at SunTrust Bank,
976
00:48:24,137 --> 00:48:26,807
and he was in third year at UCF,
977
00:48:28,208 --> 00:48:31,977
getting his undergraduate
degree in financial planning.
978
00:48:31,978 --> 00:48:34,146
They were dating for 14 months
979
00:48:34,147 --> 00:48:35,648
(camera clicking)
980
00:48:35,649 --> 00:48:39,152
when they were killed, but
they were very much in love.
981
00:48:43,156 --> 00:48:47,160
The killer who was so
full of hatred, and anger,
982
00:48:48,428 --> 00:48:51,363
and racism, and
homophobia, and he was able
983
00:48:51,364 --> 00:48:56,201
to legally purchase a
high-powered weapon one week
984
00:48:56,202 --> 00:49:00,773
before killing my son,
my son’s boyfriend Juan,
985
00:49:00,774 --> 00:49:02,408
and 47 other people.
986
00:49:03,610 --> 00:49:06,779
If he were on the
floor of the club shot,
987
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:10,482
and he had a thought,
he would be thinking,
988
00:49:10,483 --> 00:49:13,018
"Please, Juan, I want you
to know that I love you,
989
00:49:13,019 --> 00:49:15,487
"and mom, I want you to
know that I love you."
990
00:49:15,488 --> 00:49:17,289
I know he would
be thinking that.
991
00:49:17,290 --> 00:49:20,693
I would just want him
to know that I know
992
00:49:20,694 --> 00:49:22,962
that’s what would be in
his heart, and that, yes,
993
00:49:22,963 --> 00:49:25,030
we’re gonna be sad, but
we’re going to love you,
994
00:49:25,031 --> 00:49:27,299
and we’re gonna
continue your voice.
995
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:30,435
(mournful music)
996
00:49:30,436 --> 00:49:34,608
As big as my voice is now,
that’s how much I loved my son,
997
00:49:37,377 --> 00:49:40,814
that I cannot let his
voiced be silenced.
998
00:49:41,982 --> 00:49:45,385
And however he died
or whoever killed him,
999
00:49:46,953 --> 00:49:50,956
or for whatever their means,
and whoever’s accountable,
1000
00:49:50,957 --> 00:49:52,892
they should be accountable.
1001
00:49:52,893 --> 00:49:54,660
We should know what happened.
1002
00:49:54,661 --> 00:49:55,829
It’s not fair.
1003
00:49:56,830 --> 00:49:58,363
It’s not fair
1004
00:49:58,364 --> 00:50:01,835
that there’s all this mystery
surrounding all these deaths.
1005
00:50:02,769 --> 00:50:05,371
(gentle music)
1006
00:50:41,608 --> 00:50:42,875
- My son called me.
1007
00:50:42,876 --> 00:50:46,111
He texted me at 2:06 and
said, I love you, mom.
1008
00:50:46,112 --> 00:50:49,081
And it woke me up, and I’m
like, what is this boy doing?
1009
00:50:49,082 --> 00:50:51,316
He was like, "Call for help."
1010
00:50:51,317 --> 00:50:54,820
So I had got on another phone
and was calling a dispatcher,
1011
00:50:54,821 --> 00:50:57,590
and they was like, "First
responders are already there."
1012
00:50:57,591 --> 00:51:00,393
(camera clicking)
1013
00:51:01,562 --> 00:51:05,265
My world ended, and now,
my whole life changed.
1014
00:51:06,332 --> 00:51:08,000
It would never be the same.
1015
00:51:08,001 --> 00:51:11,004
My son and me was
close as two pies.
1016
00:51:13,974 --> 00:51:18,144
And I tried to get it right,
but I have family and friends,
1017
00:51:19,145 --> 00:51:21,314
and every day is a battle.
1018
00:51:22,415 --> 00:51:24,449
Some days better than others.
1019
00:51:24,450 --> 00:51:27,120
Some minutes, seconds, real bad,
1020
00:51:29,089 --> 00:51:32,357
but I know he would
want me to be his voice,
1021
00:51:32,358 --> 00:51:34,360
because he was so alive.
1022
00:51:36,797 --> 00:51:38,698
He was always happy.
1023
00:51:38,699 --> 00:51:41,567
Whatever he’d say he
was gonna do, he did it.
1024
00:51:41,568 --> 00:51:43,368
I was so proud of him.
1025
00:51:43,369 --> 00:51:46,639
Anybody meet him, he
would brighten your day.
1026
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,341
Encouraging words he’d
say to his friends.
1027
00:51:49,342 --> 00:51:50,209
He was hilarious.
1028
00:51:50,210 --> 00:51:51,777
He was a jokester, yeah.
1029
00:51:51,778 --> 00:51:53,613
I have to be the
voice for Eddie.
1030
00:51:53,614 --> 00:51:58,050
I’m gonna be his voice
until the day I leave here.
1031
00:51:58,051 --> 00:52:02,155
Anytime you wanna talk about
Eddie Justice, I’m his voice.
1032
00:52:08,028 --> 00:52:09,309
- Yes.
|
1033
00:52:10,330 --> 00:52:12,833
Yep, he knew he was gonna die.
1034
00:52:18,539 --> 00:52:19,540
- Only God.
1035
00:52:20,674 --> 00:52:23,509
Only God, and ask God for peace,
1036
00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:26,311
because if you carry,
if you keep hate.
1037
00:52:26,312 --> 00:52:29,816
I had hate, a lot of
hate, a lot of anger,
1038
00:52:30,984 --> 00:52:32,752
but I had to release
it and give it to Him,
1039
00:52:32,753 --> 00:52:37,122
because He’s not gonna
bless me if I keep hating.
1040
00:52:37,123 --> 00:52:39,091
You have to forgive,
1041
00:52:39,092 --> 00:52:42,428
because you cannot
get back what’s done.
1042
00:52:44,998 --> 00:52:48,168
- Eddie Justice,
Eddie "Droy" Justice.
1043
00:52:50,103 --> 00:52:53,106
Life, light,
happiness, free spirit.
1044
00:52:55,075 --> 00:52:57,678
(gentle music)
1045
00:52:59,546 --> 00:53:00,746
- [Charlie] If you had
one last moment with him,
1046
00:53:00,747 --> 00:53:02,782
what would you tell him?
1047
00:53:02,783 --> 00:53:06,219
- I love him, and that
will never change.
1048
00:53:11,191 --> 00:53:15,028
That’s a special person
that was just innocent
1049
00:53:17,163 --> 00:53:18,397
and didn’t deserve to die.
1050
00:53:18,398 --> 00:53:21,001
(gentle music)
1051
00:54:04,110 --> 00:54:07,848
(Carmen speaking in Spanish)
|
1052
00:54:41,481 --> 00:54:43,415
- He got shot one time.
|
1053
00:54:43,416 --> 00:54:46,418
He just bleed to
death at the hospital.
1054
00:54:46,419 --> 00:54:47,252
- [Charlie] The hospital?
|
1055
00:54:47,253 --> 00:54:48,220
- At the hospital.
|
1056
00:54:48,221 --> 00:54:51,057
(camera clicking)
1057
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,027
- [Charlie] Where was he shot?
1058
00:54:55,028 --> 00:54:58,163
- He was shot from the
back, and it came out
1059
00:54:58,164 --> 00:54:59,765
through the front right here.
1060
00:54:59,766 --> 00:55:01,207
- [Charlie] Oh.
|
1061
00:55:04,037 --> 00:55:05,538
- Yep.
1062
00:55:05,539 --> 00:55:07,239
That’s what we said.
1063
00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:10,976
Only one bullet just
took him just like that,
1064
00:55:10,977 --> 00:55:14,080
let him bleed to
death, and it’s sad.
1065
00:55:16,049 --> 00:55:19,820
(Carmen speaking in Spanish)
|
1066
00:55:34,668 --> 00:55:38,672
- I was there that night
with my friend Stanley.
1067
00:55:40,106 --> 00:55:42,174
We hadn’t talked for the
longest time before that.
1068
00:55:42,175 --> 00:55:45,244
We used to date in the past and
we were really good friends,
1069
00:55:45,245 --> 00:55:47,379
and then we just
had a falling out.
1070
00:55:47,380 --> 00:55:49,715
And then, that night, we
were like, "Hey, let’s talk."
1071
00:55:49,716 --> 00:55:51,416
Our birthdays were coming
up, so we were there
1072
00:55:51,417 --> 00:55:52,652
and we were talking about
1073
00:55:52,653 --> 00:55:54,687
how there shouldn’t
be any animosity.
1074
00:55:54,688 --> 00:55:55,988
We’re getting older.
1075
00:55:55,989 --> 00:55:57,857
And it’s crazy to me
that he said this,
1076
00:55:57,858 --> 00:56:00,459
but he’s like, "You don’t
know when your last day
1077
00:56:00,460 --> 00:56:03,696
"on Earth is, so you don’t
wanna leave here with animosity
1078
00:56:03,697 --> 00:56:06,398
"with someone that you had
a good connection with."
1079
00:56:06,399 --> 00:56:07,933
I’m like, "Yeah, you’re right."
1080
00:56:07,934 --> 00:56:10,936
We’re dancing, we’re having
fun, and we wanted to leave,
1081
00:56:10,937 --> 00:56:12,805
so we start walking
towards the bar,
1082
00:56:12,806 --> 00:56:13,639
because he had a tab open.
1083
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:14,473
He was like, "Oh, here.
1084
00:56:14,474 --> 00:56:15,708
"Take my card.
1085
00:56:15,709 --> 00:56:17,910
"Go pay my tab, and
I’ll go get the car."
1086
00:56:17,911 --> 00:56:21,414
And that was the last
time that I saw him.
1087
00:56:23,149 --> 00:56:24,784
I had my other friend there.
|
1088
00:56:24,785 --> 00:56:27,520
We call her Zeus, the love
and the life the party.
1089
00:56:27,521 --> 00:56:30,556
She just made to always
put me under her wing,
1090
00:56:30,557 --> 00:56:32,424
and she was such a
tiny little thing
1091
00:56:32,425 --> 00:56:34,493
with her dreads, and
I always told her
1092
00:56:34,494 --> 00:56:35,895
that she reminded
me of Lil Wayne,
1093
00:56:35,896 --> 00:56:38,230
but a cuter, prettier version.
1094
00:56:38,231 --> 00:56:39,699
She was amazing.
1095
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:40,933
She was just an.
1096
00:56:40,934 --> 00:56:42,535
All these people
that passed away,
1097
00:56:42,536 --> 00:56:44,136
I think about all the time.
1098
00:56:44,137 --> 00:56:45,771
They were such amazing
people, and the ones
1099
00:56:45,772 --> 00:56:49,074
that I knew personally were
such, such amazing people.
1100
00:56:49,075 --> 00:56:51,678
(gentle music)
1101
00:57:19,906 --> 00:57:22,475
- She was studying for nursing.
|
1102
00:57:23,510 --> 00:57:25,911
She wanted to become a midwife.
|
1103
00:57:25,912 --> 00:57:29,582
She has two jobs
plus going to school,
1104
00:57:29,583 --> 00:57:31,917
so she leaved the house a
six o’clock in the morning
1105
00:57:31,918 --> 00:57:35,488
and she’d come back at
home 11:30 at night.
1106
00:57:36,790 --> 00:57:40,893
We always used to sing
together two Celine Dion songs,
1107
00:57:40,894 --> 00:57:45,665
and Marc Anthony and Jennifer
Lopez’s "No Me Ames" song
1108
00:57:45,666 --> 00:57:49,702
that we always used to do
everywhere on the karaoke.
1109
00:57:49,703 --> 00:57:51,270
She loved watching the Red Sox,
1110
00:57:51,271 --> 00:57:55,440
and she loved watching the
Buccaneers game with her dad.
1111
00:57:55,441 --> 00:57:58,611
You are never gonna
forget your kids.
1112
00:57:58,612 --> 00:57:59,712
That’s just part of you.
1113
00:57:59,713 --> 00:58:01,914
They’re always in your heart.
1114
00:58:01,915 --> 00:58:03,816
They’re always with you.
1115
00:58:03,817 --> 00:58:05,851
I have a lot of support
of a lot of people
1116
00:58:05,852 --> 00:58:10,023
that contact me via Facebook,
and I’m so grateful for that,
1117
00:58:11,457 --> 00:58:15,061
that everyday I have someone
sending me an encouraged word,
1118
00:58:16,196 --> 00:58:19,099
and that is just
what keeps me going.
1119
00:58:22,235 --> 00:58:25,238
(melancholic music)
|
1120
00:59:10,216 --> 00:59:14,820
- The story about Jean
is very heartbreaking.
1121
00:59:14,821 --> 00:59:16,355
They ran out.
|
1122
00:59:16,356 --> 00:59:19,692
Once they got outside, Jean
turned around and said,
1123
00:59:19,693 --> 00:59:24,063
"He’s not here," and he ran
back in looking for Luis.
1124
00:59:24,064 --> 00:59:27,233
He ran in by himself
looking for Luis.
1125
00:59:29,636 --> 00:59:33,706
In Puerto Rico, it was very
hard for him to be openly gay.
1126
00:59:33,707 --> 00:59:37,477
It’s still difficult to
have that acceptance.
1127
00:59:39,179 --> 00:59:42,414
He came out to a couple people.
1128
00:59:42,415 --> 00:59:44,650
He came out to my mother.
1129
00:59:44,651 --> 00:59:47,587
My mother told
him, "That’s fine.
1130
00:59:47,588 --> 00:59:48,954
"We knew.
1131
00:59:48,955 --> 00:59:50,489
"We’re gonna help you.
1132
00:59:50,490 --> 00:59:54,026
"Come live with us
and be who you are."
1133
00:59:54,027 --> 00:59:56,929
He wanted to make
sure others were okay.
1134
00:59:56,930 --> 01:00:00,566
He didn’t want
others to be bullied.
1135
01:00:00,567 --> 01:00:01,934
- [Charlie] Tell us about Jean.
1136
01:00:01,935 --> 01:00:05,539
- He had his serious
moments, but so funny.
1137
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:11,077
He had this humor and
this love for everybody.
1138
01:00:12,412 --> 01:00:15,414
At times, it was childlike.
1139
01:00:15,415 --> 01:00:18,483
They both loved each
other, and they loved us.
1140
01:00:18,484 --> 01:00:19,719
We loved them.
1141
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,656
(foreboding music)
1142
01:00:26,259 --> 01:00:29,095
(sorrowful music)
|
1143
01:00:42,042 --> 01:00:43,008
- [Charlie] Tell us about Akyra.
1144
01:00:43,009 --> 01:00:44,309
What kind of person was she?
1145
01:00:44,310 --> 01:00:46,311
- She was amazing,
my little cousin.
1146
01:00:46,312 --> 01:00:49,314
I swear, I can have
the worst day possible.
1147
01:00:49,315 --> 01:00:50,950
Just to call her and
hear her say hello,
1148
01:00:50,951 --> 01:00:52,952
I would be just fine after that.
1149
01:00:52,953 --> 01:00:54,854
She was an amazing spirit.
1150
01:00:54,855 --> 01:00:56,288
She was very dedicated
1151
01:00:56,289 --> 01:00:58,758
to whatever she did,
especially with basketball.
1152
01:00:58,759 --> 01:01:01,794
And it’s funny, because
she died wanting
1153
01:01:01,795 --> 01:01:05,531
to study something that
is what killed her.
1154
01:01:05,532 --> 01:01:07,199
She wanted to study criminology.
1155
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,371
She wanted to know why
criminals did what they did.
1156
01:01:14,174 --> 01:01:16,576
My cousin, my little
cousin who was with me
1157
01:01:16,577 --> 01:01:18,544
literally every
day, all the time.
1158
01:01:18,545 --> 01:01:20,746
She lived exactly 10
minutes from my house.
1159
01:01:20,747 --> 01:01:22,114
(camera clicking)
1160
01:01:22,115 --> 01:01:24,249
She was the most
hardworking person I knew.
1161
01:01:24,250 --> 01:01:26,151
She gave me motivation,
and she’s younger.
1162
01:01:26,152 --> 01:01:30,055
I’m supposed to be the
one she look up to.
1163
01:01:30,056 --> 01:01:34,227
It’s just so hard to see the
term, the good die young.
1164
01:01:36,096 --> 01:01:38,230
I definitely believe that.
1165
01:01:38,231 --> 01:01:41,901
She had just turned
18, just turned 18.
1166
01:01:41,902 --> 01:01:45,538
(sorrowful music)
1167
01:01:45,539 --> 01:01:47,773
- Me and Akyra never really
got a chance to hang out
1168
01:01:47,774 --> 01:01:49,942
with each other,
so at that night,
1169
01:01:49,943 --> 01:01:54,114
that was literally our first
time really hanging out.
1170
01:02:01,154 --> 01:02:02,487
- [Charlie] How often
do you think about that?
1171
01:02:02,488 --> 01:02:03,422
- All the time.
1172
01:02:03,423 --> 01:02:05,758
I think about it every day.
1173
01:02:05,759 --> 01:02:10,763
Honestly, every day, all
sorts of what if questions,
1174
01:02:10,764 --> 01:02:14,433
but that one is one that’s
never gonna go away, ever.
1175
01:02:14,434 --> 01:02:16,770
- It made me feel like crap.
1176
01:02:18,138 --> 01:02:21,674
I really wish they’d
have just stayed outside.
1177
01:02:21,675 --> 01:02:25,645
I’d have figured out the rest,
and if it was my time to go,
1178
01:02:25,646 --> 01:02:27,880
I was at peace with that.
1179
01:02:27,881 --> 01:02:30,149
It’s a hard pill to swallow,
1180
01:02:30,150 --> 01:02:32,051
a very, very hard
pill to swallow.
1181
01:02:32,052 --> 01:02:34,888
(sorrowful music)
1182
01:02:39,626 --> 01:02:41,126
It was hard, but I
didn’t want nobody else
1183
01:02:41,127 --> 01:02:42,595
to do it, ’cause I see
1184
01:02:42,596 --> 01:02:44,564
how some funeral homes
have ’em looking ghostly.
1185
01:02:44,565 --> 01:02:46,065
They don’t have to look ghostly,
1186
01:02:46,066 --> 01:02:48,100
because that’s not how she
looked before she died.
1187
01:02:48,101 --> 01:02:50,937
The last time I
did her makeup was
1188
01:02:52,105 --> 01:02:53,673
for her graduation pictures.
1189
01:02:53,674 --> 01:02:54,974
I did little stuff.
1190
01:02:54,975 --> 01:02:56,175
I did her eyebrows.
1191
01:02:56,176 --> 01:02:57,643
I gave her some lipstick
and some mascara,
1192
01:02:57,644 --> 01:02:59,912
and we went about our
business, and some eyeliner.
1193
01:02:59,913 --> 01:03:02,347
And I did it the same exact way,
1194
01:03:02,348 --> 01:03:05,952
unintentionally, but
I did it the same way,
1195
01:03:07,387 --> 01:03:11,124
and I couldn’t do nothing
but just cry the whole time.
1196
01:03:13,226 --> 01:03:17,230
To see her, and touch her
face, and just to feel
1197
01:03:19,499 --> 01:03:23,202
how cold and hard her body
was, just looking at her
1198
01:03:23,203 --> 01:03:26,839
and just talking to her
those whole four hours,
1199
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,843
telling her to get up
like she can hear me.
1200
01:03:30,844 --> 01:03:33,614
(mournful music)
|
1201
01:03:42,956 --> 01:03:45,825
- Right before the police
bust through our bathroom,
1202
01:03:45,826 --> 01:03:48,060
the shooter began
shooting again.
1203
01:03:48,061 --> 01:03:49,428
He shot three more times.
1204
01:03:49,429 --> 01:03:50,896
He shot one person.
1205
01:03:50,897 --> 01:03:53,165
He said, "Hey, you."
1206
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:56,135
He shot someone,
shot another person,
1207
01:03:56,136 --> 01:03:58,638
and then shot the person
that was directly behind me.
1208
01:03:58,639 --> 01:04:00,706
I didn’t know what was
going on at the time,
1209
01:04:00,707 --> 01:04:02,642
but I felt somebody
get closer to me,
1210
01:04:02,643 --> 01:04:05,310
and then I heard the gunshot,
and I heard someone scream.
1211
01:04:05,311 --> 01:04:07,648
He covered my body with his.
1212
01:04:08,849 --> 01:04:12,753
I credit him for saving
my life, Jason Josaphat.
1213
01:04:16,690 --> 01:04:18,190
- I don’t know who
else would do that,
1214
01:04:18,191 --> 01:04:20,293
but yeah, that was Jason.
|
1215
01:04:21,461 --> 01:04:23,028
Sometime I’m like, Jason,
|
1216
01:04:23,029 --> 01:04:27,032
I wish you had a little
selfish bones in your body,
1217
01:04:27,033 --> 01:04:29,702
’cause he was not
selfish at all.
1218
01:04:29,703 --> 01:04:33,874
He will do his last for anybody
else, stranger, anybody.
1219
01:04:35,408 --> 01:04:37,677
That’s the person he was.
1220
01:04:37,678 --> 01:04:41,080
- [Charlie] Who was
he there with then?
1221
01:04:41,081 --> 01:04:44,084
- He was there with
his male friend.
1222
01:04:45,519 --> 01:04:47,052
They just started dating.
1223
01:04:47,053 --> 01:04:51,091
Nobody knew about Jason but
me as far as his sexuality.
1224
01:04:52,025 --> 01:04:54,359
He wanted to be a photographer.
1225
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:55,928
He’d talk about modeling.
1226
01:04:55,929 --> 01:04:59,064
He wanted to be, he just
wanted to do so many things.
1227
01:04:59,065 --> 01:05:01,100
He used to play football.
1228
01:05:01,101 --> 01:05:04,436
Then, he was in hip-hop dance.
1229
01:05:04,437 --> 01:05:07,673
He was a cheerleader,
gymnastics.
1230
01:05:07,674 --> 01:05:11,411
He was doing everything,
making silly videos.
1231
01:05:12,378 --> 01:05:14,680
That’s what he liked to do.
1232
01:05:14,681 --> 01:05:17,917
He had a lot of
things going for him,
1233
01:05:17,918 --> 01:05:20,420
a lot of things going for him.
1234
01:05:22,155 --> 01:05:24,758
(woeful music)
|
1235
01:05:31,698 --> 01:05:34,333
- They were really great people.
|
1236
01:05:34,334 --> 01:05:38,337
They really still are,
’cause I know they’re
1237
01:05:38,338 --> 01:05:39,839
with me everywhere I go,
1238
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,176
and we spend pretty
good times together.
1239
01:05:45,378 --> 01:05:47,647
Every time I would go to work,
I would just look at my phone
1240
01:05:47,648 --> 01:05:51,150
and think that I would just
get a message from them,
1241
01:05:51,151 --> 01:05:54,186
but unfortunately,
I know I won’t.
1242
01:05:54,187 --> 01:05:55,855
(woeful music)
|
1243
01:05:55,856 --> 01:05:57,297
But I miss ’em.
|
1244
01:06:02,195 --> 01:06:04,865
I miss ’em a lot, especially now
1245
01:06:06,166 --> 01:06:08,569
that I don’t go out anywhere.
|
1246
01:06:09,736 --> 01:06:11,370
I don’t go out ’cause
I don’t have my friends
1247
01:06:11,371 --> 01:06:15,542
to call me anymore and be
like, "Adrian, let’s go out."
1248
01:06:23,684 --> 01:06:26,351
- [Charlie] If you had
all of them in one room,
1249
01:06:26,352 --> 01:06:27,887
and you had one last
thing to say to them,
1250
01:06:27,888 --> 01:06:29,454
what would it be?
1251
01:06:29,455 --> 01:06:33,627
- I would tell ’em thank you,
because I loved them a lot.
1252
01:06:36,429 --> 01:06:39,599
They were basically my
family, and they filled me
1253
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,902
with love the last time
that we were together.
1254
01:06:42,903 --> 01:06:45,639
(mournful music)
1255
01:07:36,890 --> 01:07:41,493
- When the gunfire started
coming through the back wall,
1256
01:07:41,494 --> 01:07:43,796
he saw it hitting the
bartender in front of him,
1257
01:07:43,797 --> 01:07:45,598
and he saw the door
open to his left,
1258
01:07:45,599 --> 01:07:47,432
and he saw people
coming out the door,
1259
01:07:47,433 --> 01:07:49,935
and he saw people
falling down dead.
1260
01:07:49,936 --> 01:07:52,037
And he was a streetwise
New York boy.
1261
01:07:52,038 --> 01:07:52,972
He grabbed his friends.
1262
01:07:52,973 --> 01:07:54,707
He got them down on the ground
1263
01:07:54,708 --> 01:07:56,408
as the bullets rained overhead.
1264
01:07:56,409 --> 01:07:59,211
And then, when there was a
moment to get over the fence,
1265
01:07:59,212 --> 01:08:03,683
they ran to fence, and he got
his friends over the fence.
1266
01:08:03,684 --> 01:08:06,485
Most of us in that situation,
when death is behind us
1267
01:08:06,486 --> 01:08:08,954
and it’s coming for us,
we would be the first
1268
01:08:08,955 --> 01:08:11,123
to climb over that fence.
1269
01:08:11,124 --> 01:08:14,259
He pushed them over, and I
just think that that says
1270
01:08:14,260 --> 01:08:17,129
so much about the
loyalty and the love
1271
01:08:17,130 --> 01:08:18,898
that he had for people.
1272
01:08:18,899 --> 01:08:20,133
And he escaped.
1273
01:08:31,912 --> 01:08:36,716
Back in 2007, the roommate that
I had was leaving suddenly,
1274
01:08:36,717 --> 01:08:39,785
so I posted on Craigslist
for a roommate,
1275
01:08:39,786 --> 01:08:44,256
and within an hour, I
got a call from Chris.
1276
01:08:44,257 --> 01:08:46,592
And he said, "Hey,
I’m needing a room,"
1277
01:08:46,593 --> 01:08:48,661
and he came up and
knocked on my door.
1278
01:08:48,662 --> 01:08:51,531
I remember that day so vividly.
1279
01:08:51,532 --> 01:08:54,033
When you meet that person
that is just so full of life
1280
01:08:54,034 --> 01:08:57,069
for you in that way, they just
change your life the minute
1281
01:08:57,070 --> 01:08:58,639
that you meet them.
1282
01:09:00,707 --> 01:09:02,775
He was so joyous, so funny.
1283
01:09:02,776 --> 01:09:04,577
We clicked like that.
1284
01:09:04,578 --> 01:09:08,413
And it was funny because we
already knew we were friends
1285
01:09:08,414 --> 01:09:11,851
within 30 seconds, and
he came in the apartment.
1286
01:09:11,852 --> 01:09:13,519
And he was like, "Oh,
of course I’ll take it.
1287
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,087
"This is perfect."
1288
01:09:15,088 --> 01:09:18,490
And I was like, "So, would
you like to watch a movie?
1289
01:09:18,491 --> 01:09:19,959
"I have a whole
bunch of movies."
1290
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,160
He goes, "Well, you probably
don’t have my favorite."
1291
01:09:21,161 --> 01:09:22,662
And I was like,
"Well, what’s that?"
1292
01:09:22,663 --> 01:09:23,896
And he’s like, "Well, it’s
Girls Just Want to Have Fun,
1293
01:09:23,897 --> 01:09:25,931
"with Sarah Jessica Parker."
1294
01:09:25,932 --> 01:09:28,133
And I was like, "Oh,
my gosh," and I reached
1295
01:09:28,134 --> 01:09:30,202
into my collection
and I pulled it out.
1296
01:09:30,203 --> 01:09:31,571
And he was like (gasps).
1297
01:09:31,572 --> 01:09:33,839
And so, just instantly,
1298
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,341
because we liked
all the same things,
1299
01:09:36,342 --> 01:09:38,511
and we just really
connected, and that was
1300
01:09:38,512 --> 01:09:41,114
just kind of an example of how.
1301
01:09:42,282 --> 01:09:46,619
We were separated in
age by about 11 years,
1302
01:09:46,620 --> 01:09:50,289
but it was just like
he was my brother.
1303
01:09:50,290 --> 01:09:51,757
When he first passed away,
1304
01:09:51,758 --> 01:09:54,159
when the brain
hemorrhage did take him,
1305
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:55,394
there was some questions.
1306
01:09:55,395 --> 01:09:58,931
What 34 year old
just falls over dead?
1307
01:09:58,932 --> 01:09:59,932
Is it drugs?
1308
01:09:59,933 --> 01:10:01,702
Is it something else?
1309
01:10:02,736 --> 01:10:04,604
Did somebody attack him?
1310
01:10:04,605 --> 01:10:06,606
Because he just went
out for a cigarette,
1311
01:10:06,607 --> 01:10:09,341
and then his friends
were like, "Where is he?
1312
01:10:09,342 --> 01:10:10,576
"He’s been gone a long time,"
1313
01:10:10,577 --> 01:10:11,744
and they went out
and they found him.
1314
01:10:11,745 --> 01:10:14,980
If you look at pictures
before the event,
1315
01:10:14,981 --> 01:10:16,982
you can see that
sparkle, and that light,
1316
01:10:16,983 --> 01:10:18,417
and that life in his eyes.
1317
01:10:18,418 --> 01:10:21,654
And then, the pictures after,
you can see the change.
1318
01:10:21,655 --> 01:10:24,356
You can see the
weight of it on him,
1319
01:10:24,357 --> 01:10:28,529
and I personally feel that, of
course, it contributed to it.
1320
01:10:32,432 --> 01:10:36,036
And so, for a long
time, Chris did not get.
1321
01:10:36,903 --> 01:10:39,573
Nobody wanted to talk about him.
1322
01:10:41,074 --> 01:10:44,177
And it was just a
horrible injustice,
1323
01:10:46,713 --> 01:10:49,282
because they talk about the 49,
1324
01:10:50,784 --> 01:10:53,553
but really it’s 49 plus one,
1325
01:10:53,554 --> 01:10:56,222
because he survived that horror,
1326
01:10:58,625 --> 01:11:02,729
and he helped people survive,
and yet that event killed him.
1327
01:11:06,099 --> 01:11:10,270
It killed him surely as if
a bullet went through him.
1328
01:11:14,440 --> 01:11:17,010
(woeful music)
1329
01:11:39,499 --> 01:11:41,200
- Since the time that I’ve
been living here in Orlando,
1330
01:11:41,201 --> 01:11:44,970
I didn’t know the LGBT
could be this strong,
1331
01:11:44,971 --> 01:11:48,908
and not only in Orlando,
all over the world.
1332
01:11:48,909 --> 01:11:53,079
- We had over 2.000 people come
to Orlando and donate blood,
1333
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,016
and it’s stuff like
that that really shows
1334
01:11:57,017 --> 01:11:59,785
that something bad can happen,
1335
01:11:59,786 --> 01:12:03,355
but something extremely
good can come out of it.
1336
01:12:03,356 --> 01:12:06,058
- It pulled us together
as a community.
1337
01:12:06,059 --> 01:12:08,060
Humanity is kind of a hard
thing to have faith in
1338
01:12:08,061 --> 01:12:10,095
when you see all the
terrible things that happen,
1339
01:12:10,096 --> 01:12:12,932
and when such goodness comes
1340
01:12:12,933 --> 01:12:17,603
out of such a awful tragedy,
it’s shocking to see.
1341
01:12:17,604 --> 01:12:21,440
It’s amazing to see the
goodness of people out there.
1342
01:12:21,441 --> 01:12:25,611
- You just saw this enormous
sense of humanity and unity.
1343
01:12:25,612 --> 01:12:29,481
People of all walks of life
erasing any sense of difference
1344
01:12:29,482 --> 01:12:33,052
between us and our LGBT
brothers and sisters,
1345
01:12:33,053 --> 01:12:36,255
and between us and our
Hispanic brothers and sisters.
1346
01:12:36,256 --> 01:12:38,859
(woeful music)
1347
01:12:45,398 --> 01:12:46,599
- I think the best
thing that came
1348
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:48,300
out of the shooting was the fact
1349
01:12:48,301 --> 01:12:51,804
that there was so much
love, and there still is,
1350
01:12:51,805 --> 01:12:54,640
and there’s gonna continue
to be, and awareness.
1351
01:12:54,641 --> 01:12:57,210
(woeful music)
1352
01:13:04,417 --> 01:13:08,521
- There is a lot more to this
story than it’s being told.
1353
01:13:08,522 --> 01:13:10,590
Why did it take so long?
1354
01:13:10,591 --> 01:13:13,425
Why did so many bodies
have to be killed?
1355
01:13:13,426 --> 01:13:15,929
How many people did they kill?
1356
01:13:25,539 --> 01:13:28,274
- I don’t think
that they killed.
1357
01:13:30,010 --> 01:13:32,345
I think maybe they injured...
|
1358
01:13:33,514 --> 01:13:35,280
- Yeah, and could have
died from their bullets,
1359
01:13:35,281 --> 01:13:38,118
but mystery is
still being uphold.
1360
01:13:42,889 --> 01:13:43,890
- Yeah.
1361
01:13:44,925 --> 01:13:46,125
- [Charlie] Do you think
we should be suspicious,
1362
01:13:46,126 --> 01:13:48,227
the general public, that
the FBI report’s not
1363
01:13:48,228 --> 01:13:49,695
out on this thing?
1364
01:13:49,696 --> 01:13:51,196
- You know what?
1365
01:13:51,197 --> 01:13:53,999
They need to really make sure
that investigation is done
1366
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,838
properly, and dot their
Is and cross their Ts.
1367
01:13:59,072 --> 01:14:00,606
I had no idea the
report wasn’t out.
1368
01:14:00,607 --> 01:14:03,876
That’s something I don’t
really follow up on,
1369
01:14:03,877 --> 01:14:05,878
but eventually, that
report will come out.
1370
01:14:05,879 --> 01:14:07,412
And whenever it does,
1371
01:14:07,413 --> 01:14:10,917
I’m sure it’ll be
available to the public.
1372
01:14:18,158 --> 01:14:22,227
- I was shot in the
right-lower abdomen,
1373
01:14:22,228 --> 01:14:25,731
the left-inner
thigh, the left hip,
1374
01:14:25,732 --> 01:14:29,069
the right hip, and
the left-upper wrist.
1375
01:14:30,336 --> 01:14:31,671
Physically, I’m doing fine.
1376
01:14:31,672 --> 01:14:34,139
I was doing really
good, recovering wise.
1377
01:14:34,140 --> 01:14:38,077
I did a lot of physical
therapy myself in the hospital.
1378
01:14:38,078 --> 01:14:41,681
I did occupational therapy,
which was really hard,
1379
01:14:41,682 --> 01:14:43,583
but I got through it,
1380
01:14:43,584 --> 01:14:46,118
and I started working
again right away.
1381
01:14:46,119 --> 01:14:48,487
(melancholic music)
1382
01:14:48,488 --> 01:14:52,659
- I got shot on my right-lower
back, right above my hip,
1383
01:14:54,094 --> 01:14:58,397
and then I got shot on my left
side, right above my spine,
1384
01:14:58,398 --> 01:15:02,535
and it came out an inch below
my spine on my left side.
1385
01:15:02,536 --> 01:15:04,469
It shattered my pelvis.
1386
01:15:04,470 --> 01:15:07,172
(melancholic music)
1387
01:15:07,173 --> 01:15:09,341
They don’t sugarcoat,
so they do tell me
1388
01:15:09,342 --> 01:15:12,211
that it’s never
gonna be what it was.
1389
01:15:12,212 --> 01:15:13,679
I’m not gonna be able
to do the same amount
1390
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,347
of activity as I was, so sports
1391
01:15:15,348 --> 01:15:18,884
and all that won’t
be a normal thing.
1392
01:15:18,885 --> 01:15:21,654
Everything has to
be done lighter,
1393
01:15:21,655 --> 01:15:22,922
so I’m always joking around.
1394
01:15:22,923 --> 01:15:24,790
I’m like, "I look this
young on the outside,
1395
01:15:24,791 --> 01:15:27,628
"but I’m really
57 on the inside."
1396
01:15:30,163 --> 01:15:31,664
- What they madman
did in a matter
1397
01:15:31,665 --> 01:15:35,569
of three hours will not
be the legacy of Pulse,
1398
01:15:36,937 --> 01:15:38,771
and it won’t be the legacy
of their loved ones.
1399
01:15:38,772 --> 01:15:42,542
We refuse to accept
hatred and violence
1400
01:15:42,543 --> 01:15:44,544
as the last chapter
of this story.
1401
01:15:44,545 --> 01:15:45,845
The last chapter of
this story is one
1402
01:15:45,846 --> 01:15:50,282
of strength, resiliency,
of love and compassion,
1403
01:15:50,283 --> 01:15:54,253
and that is the lasting
memory that their loved ones
1404
01:15:54,254 --> 01:15:56,722
and that this community
is going to have
1405
01:15:56,723 --> 01:15:59,424
when we think of
June 12th, 2016.
1406
01:15:59,425 --> 01:16:03,729
It’s going to be the day
that love overcame hate.
1407
01:16:03,730 --> 01:16:05,965
- [Charlie] If you had all
the victims in one room,
1408
01:16:05,966 --> 01:16:08,467
they were all in one room,
and you had one thing
1409
01:16:08,468 --> 01:16:11,237
to say to them,
what would it be?
1410
01:16:14,107 --> 01:16:16,610
- Wow, that’s a good question.
1411
01:16:20,514 --> 01:16:24,550
First of all, I would
probably wanna hug ’em all.
1412
01:16:24,551 --> 01:16:26,319
I’d start that route.
1413
01:16:28,054 --> 01:16:30,055
Try to make them secure.
1414
01:16:30,056 --> 01:16:32,091
Try to make them feel
that they matter,
1415
01:16:32,092 --> 01:16:35,728
that they mean something
to me personally
1416
01:16:35,729 --> 01:16:37,897
as a first responder.
1417
01:16:37,898 --> 01:16:39,498
- [Charlie] If you had all
the victims in one room,
1418
01:16:39,499 --> 01:16:41,602
what would you tell them?
1419
01:16:42,969 --> 01:16:45,071
- That’s a good question.
1420
01:16:46,573 --> 01:16:49,241
I would probably
just get emotional.
1421
01:16:49,242 --> 01:16:52,444
I wouldn’t really
have words to say.
1422
01:16:52,445 --> 01:16:56,282
I would just be happy
to see everybody’s face.
1423
01:16:57,651 --> 01:17:01,354
I would be sad to see some
faces that I don’t see any more.
1424
01:17:03,790 --> 01:17:07,126
But I would definitely,
if I had one thing to say,
1425
01:17:07,127 --> 01:17:11,230
I would say that we’re all
here, and we’re still here,
1426
01:17:11,231 --> 01:17:13,634
and we’re not going anywhere.
1427
01:17:31,585 --> 01:17:35,589
("49 Times" by Brandon Parsons)
1428
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,671
? When the night has fallen
|
1429
01:17:53,507 --> 01:17:57,343
? And our smiles quickly fade
|
1430
01:17:59,746 --> 01:18:03,784
? When the love we held so close
1431
01:18:07,253 --> 01:18:10,757
? Was instantly torn away
1432
01:18:13,794 --> 01:18:17,698
? When the lights are flashing
1433
01:18:20,667 --> 01:18:24,505
? And the tears begin to fall
1434
01:18:27,173 --> 01:18:31,344
? When we wait
for all the sounds
1435
01:18:34,314 --> 01:18:38,418
? To finally go away from us all
1436
01:18:41,221 --> 01:18:44,624
? But in the blink of an eye
1437
01:18:44,625 --> 01:18:48,127
? Our hearts slowly died
1438
01:18:48,128 --> 01:18:51,997
? As we felt our pulse
1439
01:18:51,998 --> 01:18:54,234
? 49 times
1440
01:18:59,472 --> 01:19:00,973
? We will never hide
1441
01:19:00,974 --> 01:19:02,575
? We will never run
1442
01:19:02,576 --> 01:19:06,078
? Stand strong and always fight
1443
01:19:06,079 --> 01:19:09,414
? Break free and always love
1444
01:19:09,415 --> 01:19:12,852
? Don’t lose sight of who we are
1445
01:19:12,853 --> 01:19:14,486
? We will never break
1446
01:19:14,487 --> 01:19:16,321
? We will never die
1447
01:19:16,322 --> 01:19:19,825
? We were made for
more than just tonight
1448
01:19:19,826 --> 01:19:23,128
? Takes more than just a gun
1449
01:19:23,129 --> 01:19:27,133
? More than you to tear us down
1450
01:19:29,235 --> 01:19:32,572
? So let your colors fly free
1451
01:19:32,573 --> 01:19:35,909
? We are forever strong
1452
01:19:40,213 --> 01:19:42,949
? We are forever
1453
01:19:49,923 --> 01:19:54,094
? When your dreams
were quickly shattered
1454
01:19:56,730 --> 01:20:00,901
? When you were not
prepared to fight
1455
01:20:03,604 --> 01:20:07,774
? When you were safe
inside the shadows
1456
01:20:10,544 --> 01:20:14,715
? When you were dancing
through the night
1457
01:20:17,450 --> 01:20:21,622
? When every moment
feels like hours
1458
01:20:24,324 --> 01:20:28,494
? And all the shouts
rang out again
1459
01:20:31,164 --> 01:20:35,335
? When our lives
are held for ransom
1460
01:20:38,038 --> 01:20:41,875
? As he holds it in his hands
1461
01:20:44,811 --> 01:20:48,280
? And in the blink of an eye
1462
01:20:48,281 --> 01:20:51,784
