Officials have released the 911 calls from the June 12 massacre at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub. Forty-nine people died during the attack. Most of the victims were young Latino members of the LGBTQ community. The release comes after months of delay during which the FBI asked law enforcement agencies to withhold public records about the shooting. Here is an excerpt of one of the 911 calls.
Caller: “I called you guys, I don’t know, 10 minutes ago. My girlfriend is in hiding in the club Pulse.”
911 Dispatcher: “Did she tell you she was in the front or the back bathroom?”
Caller: “She doesn’t know which bathroom she’s at. All she knows is that she’s in the club Pulse, in the bathroom.”
