Doctors: Orlando shooting victims arrived by ‘truckloads’

Here’s a look at Angel Colon and his story. He said the woman lying next to him was shot by the gunman and then thought “I’m next… There is no reason why the should be standing there with all these gunshots going off. I have videos of me yelling at the cops to go in there”, he told the station.

Dr. Gary Parrish, the director of the emergency department at Orlando Regional Medical Center said that he was on duty when the call of a shooting came out, but he initially didn’t think much of it as a shooting isn’t that unusual.

“He didn’t say anything”.

“We were just given patient after patient after patient”, he said. He immediately fell to the floor and felt people trampling him as they escaped the club.

Univision says that on the living room table was a document listing items investigators removed: 9 mm cartridges, an iPad mini, a Samsung phone, a Dell computer, a CD labeled with Mateen’s name. “No drama. Just smiles”.

“How a person could do that to someone they don’t know, like, hey don’t know anything about you, and you just walk into a building and you change people’s lives”, said Barraza.

Speaking at a press conference, the survior said: “I was shot about three times in my leg so i had fallen down”. He described several bleeding patients who were rushed to the hospital in the same ambulances, one after the other, until the emergency room was packed with people suffering from “a full gamut” of wounds to their chests, pelvises, abdomens, and extremities, some with a “significant amount of tissue destruction”.

“He’s shooting everyone that’s dead on the floor to make sure…” He shoots towards my head but it hits my hand. “And he shoots me again and hits the side of my hip”.

“At first I was hesitant to come out here, because it’s all so fresh for me”, Colon said on Tuesday, surrounded by his siblings. She wrote on Facebook that Colon underwent surgery and is recovering. I finally got to see him. Keep praying for him.

Eleven victims were treated at other hospitals, and majority have been released, Cheatham said. Six are in the IntensiveCare Unit. Doctors at ORMC had performed more than 36 operations by Monday night and were planning to do eight more on Tuesday. Six of them are in critical condition, and one or two of those are “profoundly ill”. Five of the patients are in guarded condition.
