We are live from outside Orlando Regional Medical Center where more than 20 people are hospitalized after the shooting at the pulse nightclub. Theres breaking news about the shooter. What investigators learned from data on his cell phone, what his wife has been telling Law Enforcement officials. We will have all that in a moment. Whats most important, the people in the hospital behind me, fighting for their lives, people that lost their lives. We will bring more stories in the next hour, hear from the medical examiner. Lets get the latest without using the shooters name or picture. Pamela brown joins us for that. What more do authorities know . Reporter most important in the investigation is the wife. They continue to interview her. We learned from Law Enforcement that shes giving conflicting reports to investigators. Initially said her husband left the house saturday she didnt have any inkling of what he was going to do. Through the course of more interviews she said she had a suspicion he might launch an attack, perhaps it might be on pulse nightclub. She didnt call police as we know. She claims she tried to stop him from launching an attack. Whats interesting, what we are learning from our sources for months if not years he talked about doing something violent, so clearly that inclination was there for awhile, and the question is why didnt anyone speak up to it. She may have known it was at pulse that day but didnt know. Shes got a lawyer with her during the interviews. Shes coming around, saying well i had a suspicion he might launch an attack, perhaps maybe at pulse. She is not being definitive according to sources but changing the story from initially saying i didnt have an inkling of what was going on. They got the phone, the shooters phone. Have they able to get information . They have gotten a little data, it was submerged in water and blood so took awhile. They have been able to piece together a time line of where he was, who he was talking to in hours before the attack. Thats key. He made calls in the club during the shootings. People overheard phone calls. It is incredible he called the tv producer in the middle of this. Makes you wonder, what was he thinking. Clearly this is someone who wanted the story out. Not only called the tv producer and 911 but called a friend to say goodbye. Interesting to investigators. They interviewed the friend we are told and want to find out what the friend knew about the gunmans plans, who this person is. This is someone that clearly means something to the gunman otherwise he wouldnt call him to say goodbye. Zpl appreciate that reporting. Seen so many communities in the aftermath from newtown to aurora and boston. City after city rally around survivors and families. The city is no exception. Joining me, orlando city commissioner Patty Sheehan and sentinel reporter paul brinkman. Thank you for being with us. First of all, what is going on in your mind now. You have been working around the clock ever since this happened, you represent this community. First elected gay official, i have deep ties to the club. You know the owner. They hosted events for the community. For me, fundraisers for me, very gracious and wonderful people, very supportive. Do you see this changing the community in any way . I talked to so many young gay lesbians at the club or friends of those at the club, though theyre fearful say it makes them want to walk taller, stand taller, hold hands in public and be more present than they have been. I am not getting a sense of fear, i am getting a sense of grief, i just came from a Church Service at my church. I think people are really grieving. I also see a change. There are ministers and people that have never been supportive in the Gay Community of the lgbt community, they could care less. They are nasty. Now theyre getting together, went to something in Orange County, they were saying love your neighbor. We shouldnt be behaving this way, espousing hatred. I am like i never heard them talk like that before. I dont think they died in vain, i think they reached the hearts. Hard to look at the young faces full of promise. We know all of it. We dont know them personally, but all been there. I think it finally took something horrible to make people realize hate is not the answer. This hate speech and talk encourages this kind of violence. What are you focusing on. Spent the first two days after the attack at the center convergence of people from the Community Coming in for help and to donate resources. So many Little Details you dont think of that have to be dealt with. People arent from orlando originally. And to travel here. It became a media center for international media. They also expressed they never received this kind of attention from the community before and were blown away by the support. Had semis pulling up with food and water, refrigeration trucks donated 200 plus counselors to donate their services. I was struck by a tweet from Los Angeles Police department of brass at the gay pride parade saying we are orlando. Theres such a history in this country. There was a fire bombing of a gay bar in new orleans in the 70s that the person that did it was never found. Seems like to have Law Enforcement in the forefront, speaking out about what happened, investigating vigorously. I have openly gay officers in high ranking. I think it makes a big difference. You get a sense how things have changed. Absolutely. What are you focused on now . Right now i am kind of coming down a bit right now, the cemetery. Greensboro church is threatening to come. I have dealt with that. All they want is attention and represent nobody other than themselves. Extremists are coming. My folks never dealt with that. I have been involved in pride festivals and they show up, manage to find a way. Put dancing boys in front of them. Cant do that in a cemetery, we will do a human screen, deal with them best we can, providing screening and all that. What do you want people to know about the community . We are resilient and loving community. This is the thing. Whats kind of cool for me as a glbt and q see that orlando is the rainbow. Gets me in my heart. I would never have thought that would be. As a young gay person fighting for my rights and nondiscrimination policies, to have seen the outpouring of support is incredible. I appreciate what you are doing, taking time to talk to us. Thank you so much. Thank you. We are getting new perspective on the scope of the tragedy inside the nightclub. The medical examiner saw the worst of the aftermath. Dr. Sanjay gupta spoke with him. It is rare that you hear from the medical examiner. He wanted to talk about this. They moved very, very quickly as you know. They want to identify the bodies, do the autopsies, out of respect for the families that are waiting. But this is a veteran medical examiner, aviation disasters, never seen anything like this. He was on the scene, i asked him to describe it. Take a listen. Almost like time stopped. There were still things, lights blinking, drinks poured, food half eaten, and thats not even thinking about the bodies on the ground and just looking around, it is like time stood still. All of a sudden everything is gone, stopped. When you see everyone down in one place or the final positions, you can feel it. Over the years i talked to medical examiners, theyre the people caring for the dead before the families and dignity is so important to them, even in placement of the bodies. No question. He talked to you about that. He did. He had an area where they did the autopsies, but it was important the shooter was transported separately from victims, in a separate building from victims. Didnt want the shooters autopsy performed in the same room. He did the autopsy on the shooter himself. All those that lost their lives together and shooter separate. Thats right. Thats not a rule or protocol, it was a sign of respect. This medical examiner has been busy the last several days, he pointed out this particular shooters body hasnt been claimed but did the autopsy of christina and will be doing the autopsy on the twoyearold as well. Thats what the medical examiner in orlando has been doing the last several days. Appreciate you coming on. Just ahead, hear two more stories of survivors, two friends lucky to be alive. Devastated their friend didnt make it out. And the fbi issued a bulletin to other gay clubs in orlando. There are other times they were targeted. A sad look back at other times love was the target of hate. Right now, a story frankly with quikpark lets you attach and go. Imatch quickhitch gives you more time for what you love. So it takes less work to do more work. Autoconnect driveover mower deck . Done. Theyre not making any more land. But theres plenty of time if you know where to look. All john deere compact tractors come with an industrybest, sixyear, nocost powertrain warranty. It was always just a hobby. Something you did for fun. Until the day it became something much more. And that is why you invest. The best returns arent just measured in dollars. Td ameritrade. Right now, a story frankly hard to hear. Three best friends, called themselves the three amigos, wept out saturday night to pulse nightclub. Gary tuckman reports. Reporter three close friends, at the pulse nightclub. The same club they went this past saturday night. This is christian and carlos. They with called the three amigos, we always Work Together always. The three amigos, all three standing next to each other when the rampage started, gunshots ringing out, the deejay saying everyone should get to the floor. Then the lights went off, it was so dark. I could see people falling in front of me. I could see everything, everybody was dead. Carlos made a decision to crawl to a bathroom where they saw others going. He tried to hold onto jimmy and christian, was only able to maintain a grip on christian amid flying bullets. I dragged him by the shirt with me, and jimmy was laying down. At the moment jimmy was like he was so panicked. He laid down, face down and cover his face like this. Everybody was screaming. When i looked back, thats when i saw that everybody was getting there. Christian and carlos in the dark bathroom with 30 other frightened people. You could see the blood coming under the door, like a bottle of water, it was getting on the floor. It was horrible. People trembling as gunshots and terror continued. It was like a movie. The police stormed the club, exchanging fire. Everybody in the bathroom, including christian and carlos running for their lives. He looked and saw jimmy. And everybody, there was nobody alive in that club, nobody was moving. As they sit here, christian and carlos wonder why did they survive while the other member of the three amigos, jimmy, did not. They have survivor guilt. You were so courageous, you did so much for each other and the best for your best friend, too. I hope you take comfort. I know. We are supposed to be the three amigos, not two. Just horrible that you can lose somebody you love in seconds. I hope he can rest in peace. I loved him very much. And im sorry he died that way. Three amigos. Is there help available for people . There are a lot of people that need it. Counseling is made available for free for survivors and family members of victims and christian, the more emotional man in our story received two such counseling sessions so far, it has done him well. Carlos, less emotional, admits he is holding it in. That may change friday when he sees jimmys body. He is the one i am more worried about. Just awful. Thank you for telling that story. Heart breaking that someone would have to deal with surviving a trauma like this at the same time they grieve for someone they love. Yesterday heard from a young woman named patience still in the hospital, wrote a moving poem that referenced heavy guilt but feeling grateful to be alive. Survivor guilt is not uncommon after a tragedy like this. An expert thats been speaking with families, a victims advocate. She joins me. Thanks for being with us. What do you say to someone. Everybody deals with grief differently. Some want to talk, some dont. Based on the fact it is very individualized, the best thing is to assess where the individual is, assess if theyre ready to talk or if they just need someone to stand by their side, provide support and strength. I remember an interview with a hospice worker said if somebody has cancer, you have time to settle things, time to talk. Time to communicate feelings for them and them for you when theres a violent act that is so sudden, there isnt time. Right. Thats what makes it difficult for many to heal so it takes a very long time to go through the healing process. It may take years for that to take place. Theres no timetable for grief. Ive had friends that lost somebody and other friends said well, it has been a month, time to get over it, it doesnt work like that. It absolutely does not. Theres no timetable. People may experience bouts of ups and downs. It is a process that the person needs to allow those emotions to carry out. It is not just people who directly knew these people, not just people in orlando. I have emails and texts from friends and overseas that find themselves breaking down odd times or find themselves so stunned by what happened. What do you advise somebody that has no direct connection and yet is carrying this with them. An experience like this can definitely trigger responses in other peach that werent necessarily here. I encourage to stay connected with family, friends, speak to a counselor. Connect with local church, support groups, agencies for the city of orlando. It would be an agency like Victim Service center but many agencies that are local that provide the services that would help them go through that process of healing. Should we h the 467 horsepower . Or is a 423 enough . Good question. You ask a lot of good questions. I think we should move you into our new fund. Ok. Sure. But are you asking enough about how your wealth is managed . Wealth management, at charles schwab. People are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with noninsulin victoza®. For a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar. But it didnt get me to my goal.

This has been going on more than 8 hours. Well be right back. Tonight attention over the orlando mass shooting at the lgbt nightclub is bringing the senate to a stand still. A filibuster headed into the ninth hour. Democrats promising to keep talking. Reporter even though the pulse nightclub killer was once on the fbi terror watch list, in the days before his murderous rampage, he was able to buy two firearms, one an assault style semi automatic. He is not the only one. Nine out of ten people on terror watch lists that want to buy a gun are given the green light after passing a federal background check according to a gunman accountability report. No one outside our military who are trained to use the beingo i terror watch list is not an automatic strike. The figures remain consistent. In 2004, since then, the 212 were denied. Leaving 91 . I carry an Assault Rifle in iraq. No place on the streets. Op ed. Full counter. You wrote i am a marine, carried guns in iraq, guns similar to ones used to perpetrate the orlando murders and other Mass Shootings in america. Used guns in combat, more than one occasion they saved my life. Theres a big difference between a marine with a rifle and civilian with a gun. Do you believe anything will be different . I certainly hope so. I dont have confidence that it will change. I dont know how many more innocent americans have to die before we in washington have courage to just have a debate about pa
