This is sooo interesting.
The gun man HIMSELF told the Police that he had accomplices!!! A witnesses heard him on the phone speaking to his accomplice! Why the hell did the Police claim this is false, just because when they arrive, they only see one gun man?
John Mina of the Orlando Police Department said that the gunman, Omar Mateen, 29, told police negotiators — falsely, they later discovered — that he had explosives and accomplices at Pulse nightclub.

Chief Mina said that an off-duty officer who had been working at Pulse responded to shots fired at about 2 a.m. Sunday. Additional officers rushed to the scene, he said, and entered the nightclub, where they engaged in a gun battle with Mr. Mateen, forcing him to retreat to a bathroom where officers believed he had four to five hostages. About 15 to 20 people were in another bathroom.
“At that time we were able to save and rescue dozens and dozens of people and get them out of the club,” Chief Mina said. A SWAT team was called and took up positions in a bathroom across from where Mr. Mateen had taken cover.
From that point, “it kind of stabilized and the suspect had barricaded himself in the bathroom,” and there was no shooting during the subsequent standoff, the chief said. Mr. Mateen called 911, beginning a series of calls and conversations with the police, in which he declared allegiance to the Islamic State, the terrorist group that has taken over parts of Syria, Iraq and Libya. The attackers who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., in December also stated their allegiance to the group.
“He was cool and calm when he was making those phone calls to us,” Chief Mina said. “We had a team of crisis negotiators that did talk to the suspect, just trying to get as much information as possible, and they focused on what they could do to resolve the situation.”
But, he added, “he really wasn’t asking for a lot and we were doing most of the asking.” Asked about reports that Mr. Mateen was laughing or celebrating, the chief said there was no sign of that in the phone conversations.
“There was talk about bomb vests, about explosives, throughout,” and eventually “there were statements made about imminent loss of life.”
The story is getting weirder. 3 Officers with guns were inside, and managed to corner the terrorist in a bathroom with 4 to 5 hostages. I assume the male and female bathroom were not connected, so why would 15 other in the other bathroom matter. They should have been saved.
If 3 Officers with guns were INSIDE right from the beginning and cornered him in a bathroom all the way for 3 hours until armoured vehicle came! HOW the hell did he shoot 100 people?
They weren't till they responded.
