night club and then about 2:00 in the morning, the gunman stormed in. the first person he encountered was an off-duty police officer working security. and he took several people hostage and opened fire. this attack happened in two separate areas of the club. for three long tense and agonizing hours he was shooting, taking hostages. people were trying to stay in different parts of the club trying to stay safe. it wasn't until 5:00 in the morning they were able to move in. they used armored vehicles to smash down a wall and rescue hostages inside. we're not exactly sure what was happening between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. but tha a.m. but that's when law enforcement were finally able to shoot and kill that gunman. >> and jessica, you've heard some incredible stories of how

people managed to survive the shooting. >> reporter: you know, really agonizing stories. really terrible stories, horrific and amazing that these people had the will to survive. in one case we heard of a womanen who was in a bathroom. she had to resort to covering herself with some of the dead bodies just to stay safe. and we heard about a bar tender who's underneath the glass bar. they said anyone who's alive, please raise your hands and then the case of many people back in a dressing room in that club and they all huddled together and stayed safe until police were able to take out an air conditioning unit and then those people were able to climb through to get safety. so, really harrowing tales and they're texting their family members pleading with them for help to call police and get them to safety. but of course, 50 people ending

up being killed here tonight. >> and there are still bodies inside that club. is there a timeline on when thal arer clear the building? >> reporter: the wung thing they've been saying is please give them your patience. they say this is really a two-pronged endeavor. this is all part of the investigation. they have to figure out, canvas this scene but they also have to notify the family members of these 50 people who were killed p. they said it will take time to get those bodies out and figure out what went down and eventually clear this scene. john. >> thank you, jessica snider there. let's go to nick valencia on more with the victims. this is such a terrible agonizing way for all the friends and relatives of all the people inside that club and

right anow so many unknowns at this point. >> reporter: it's a sickening day for friends and family effected by this senseless tragedy. we're going on nearly 24 hours since this shooting first began and some family members still don't have answers to the whereabouts of their loved ones. we're joined by one of them. your brother is missing but they're not telling you anything? >> every time they send us to some place, when we get there or the list is not there. no one knows anything. they send us to another place and they close. i have to come together and put my pain on hold. he's not on the survival list, he's not on the victims list and everything is a list. the list. i just want to know about him. >> reporter: you were at one of those staging areas waiting to

hear news about what happened. tell us, explain to us the scene when those doctors walked in to read off the names of the survives and when people didn't hear the names of their family members, what was that like? >> 250 people in small rooms and waiting for news and then this guy came and i don't remember exact words because it was too many people yelling but it was something to effect of we're going to read the names of the people in the hospital. if you don't hear the name, maybe they don't make it. something like that. but when he start talking about the list, it was so cold that people start yelling, fainting, vomiting, fighting, jumping over chairs and i was scared and i get out because it was an inclosed space. shouldn't have more than 30 people and there was like 250. >> reporter: you're fighting a wave of emotions right now.

you're scared, frustrated, feel like you don't have any answers . what's going on with you? >> i just want to find him. dead, hurt, whatever. i just need to know where is jimmy. i just need to know where is jimmy? what happened to him? his friend, two of the survivors tell me what was his last moments until you don't have official news, you keep holding faith. >> reporter: you know he was there because the two survivors came out and spoke to you. what did they tell you that they saw inside the pulse night club when that shooting happened? >> he said it was last call, that the bartender was calling last call, so they get against the wall to get out. because that club is really tricky. there's not enough exit rooms.

they have a pad lock in the only place people can get out. so, they were standing towards the door and the doorman was there, so they couldn't. they hear, they thought was the music but when he start to hear more and realize something's going on and someone said to the floor, to the floor. so, they went to the floor and he saw people falling like domino effect. saw people running and falling. so, they realized it was a shooting. the guy went without ammunition, so suddenly was silence. so, they said if we don't run now, we're not going to make it. so, they start doing this, crawling towards the bathroom because there's no safe to be safe in that place. they opened the doors. they look back thinking jimmy's behind him. so, they saw jimmy in fetal position and he said he heard more than hundred shots

together, altogether and he was shooting to everything that moved. he didn't want to leave no one alive. he was on a mission. >> reporter: we hope for good news and pray for good news for you. for what's next for family members and friends, tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., they're expected to get official word on weathhethe not their family, loved ones whether or not they survived. at 10:00 a.m., we expect a briefing to officially tell the media what they told family members. and when we have that press conference later tomorrow morning, we'll take that live here. >> that will be a very long eight hours to wait. nick valencia with the latest on the victims. jessica snider giving us details on the timeline. thank you to both. like to bring in chris enzo, a

friend of one of the bartenders. he was wounded. had you is your friend? >> right now he seems to be in a stable condition. what happened is when i went and got a chance to visit him, he was very weak but strong willed. he was going to have surgery today but because he was tired and didn't get a chance to eat or sleep, he did eat and now they're going to wait for him to fast and do the surgery in the morning. basically what happened is i was here earlier today trying to piece together what happened because out of the 50 people dead, this effects everyone in orlando. so, i wanted to know which one of my friends got hurt because we're a small community. when i went to visit rodney, he said when he was bartending at pulse that he saw the saassaila

come in, didn't know it was an assailant at the time. when he heard gun shots, the person in front of him he was b bartending for was a woman who died. he got shot three times. two in the back, one in the elbow. and after that, he fell to the ground and when he nefell to th ground, he was overwhelm would the fear of death. he heard consistent semiautomatic shooting. he suspects he heard two guns going off and suspects there may have been multiple assailants. but he made the choice of whether he was going to live or die and got overwhelmed with the will to live and got out. >> managed to get out even though he'd been shot three times? >> yes. >> reporter: how are you and

your friends, because you know people involved in all of this, how do you process all of this? >> right now it'ser overwhelming. because even the people i talked to today they feel like they want to stay home and not go to to work. and we were deciding whether we were going to continue with the show on friday and we decided that we want orlando's city to stay strong and we don't want to cower down due to terrorist attacks and we don't want to give into fear. our mood is strong and our friends are rooting for rodney to get better. we're hoping that everyone who's been effected by this can find some condolences in the situation. >> and take me back to almost 24 hours ago when the news first broke that there had in fact been a shooting that pulse club.

whaurt h what happened? >> a friend of mine was doing a show and i was going to do to that and i ended up staying home with a friend and me and her both got a text message that 25 people had died, there was a hostage situation going on. at the time, it was unbelievable. we were texting friends, trying to figure things out. when i talked to rodney -- on the way to the hospital, when i was going there, a lot of people were coming out crying and a nurse said nine more people had died since then. there's so many missing pieces and we're all still trying to piece together what happened? was this a hate crime? was there more than one assa assaila assailant? >> reporter: all these questions that may be answered in the coming days, some that may nerv be answered. we wish you all the very best. thank you, sir.

and we're learning the names of the victim of this attack as they identify them. cory's father tells cnn his son is one of the many wounded in the shooting. there's no word on his condition at this time. and they named stanley as one of the 50 people who died. and it includes luis omar, juan ramon guerrero, eric ivan, luis vielma, kimberley. and what the u.s. presidential candidates are saying about this tragedy coming up. plus, after the orlando tragedy, police arrested a man headed to the l.a. pride parade, why he may have threatened the gay pride event coming up.

bodies. and the bartender hid under the glass bar until police arrived. i'll have much more from orlando. in the mean time, back to isha in los angeles. donald trump pointed the finger at u.s. leadership and warned of future attacks. he tweeted this. what has happened in orlando is just the beginning. our leadership is weak and in effective. i called it and ask for the ban. must be tough. and hillary clinton tweeted this was an act of terror. this was also an act of hate. president obama was scheduled to make his first campaign appearance with clinton on wednesday but that has been postponed. and bernie sanders called the mass shooting horrific and sent his condolences to the victims from his home state of vermont.

>> let me begin by expressing y my -- over what happened in orlando. one of those things that there just unimaginable. our hearts and condolences go out to the families of the 50 plus people who lost their lives in this unbelievably horrific mass murder. >> and now to cnn law enforcement contributor. gentleman, welcome to you both. thank you for joining us. steve, let me start with you. many people are trying to make a decision as to what to call this attack. how they should label it. was this a hate crime or an act of terror? >> yes. it was both. i mean, when has an isis attack not been a hate crime. was 9/11 a hate crime? yes, it was. you're just getting to a more

specific group of people that they particularly despies. so, it's both. it's a hate crime and an isis act of terror and we have to see it as both. >> the question of the weaponry, the firearms. and another issue people are considering is how was this man able to walk in to an establishment, however he procured them and buy these two guns, bearing in mind he'd been questioned by the fbi a couple of times and he was able to buy these guns legally? >> i think what ryou have to lok at is whether the fbi is able to give the rezlts of an investigation that doesn't have an indictment, can they give those result said tos to anothe government agency? people are squeamish of an investigation fbi does that doesn't result in charges and

releasing it to other people. >> people don't understand this. how could he have bought these guns legally when he had been questioned by the fbi? >> the answer falls squarely on the fact that congress again and again has failed to act particularly in the wake of these horrible shootings where the overwhelming majority of the american public would like to see certain firm steps taken and let's look at this particular incident. he had access to an automatic weapon. the assault weapons ban was allowed to expire in congress. and let's also take note of the fact that for a period of time, this shooter was on the terrorist watch list and according to reports removed from that list. look just recently. congress chose not to enact legislation. the most commonsense legislation that would have said those on the terrorist watch list can't

purchase weapons. so, this is both horrific and to extend empathy to those killed or injured and calls on us to stand strongly together and it's a call to action, all at once. >> a call to action all at once. but when you hear the rhetoric coming out of the campaigns, theclithe clinton campaign, plit siicizin this. >> the key issue is not what is said today. it's what action will take place tomorrow. there are important statements that need be said in the wake of a tragedy like this. and they need not divide us from each other but bring us together. there is also the possibility the statements are a cat lalyti effect on what happens tomorrow and i'm eager to see congress stand up and say there should be an assault weapons ban.

there are only 43 states in the united states where you can purchase them legally. federal law can change that tomorrow and federal law can say if you're on the terrorist watch list you can't have a weapon during that time. that should happen. >> that's where i would agree. you can't ask the fbi to do something that is not legal. and if the law says that you can take somebody from the terror watch list or any of the lists that they've got and prohibit them from guns, that's one thing. but the fbi can't say you know what. that's like the hippo warnings. it's a doctor can't go to someone and divulge your medical records. that's the problem they have. >> gentleman, we must leave it there, but it is a conversation that will continue in the days ahead of course. thank you, mike, thank you, steve. we're going back to orlando after the break on more on what officials are learning about the

>> you're watching cover thocag the worst terror attack in the united states since 9/11. >> live in orlando. the fbi is leading this investigation into the terror attack on a gay night club here in orlando. 50 people killed, another 53 wounded. a u.s. official says the gunman called 911 during the shooting to pledge allegiance to isis. police shot and killed the gunman. he's been identified as 29-year-old omar mateen. he legally bought a handgun and a long gun in the last few days. they interviewed him in 2013 and 14 but they turned out to be inconclusive. joining me is retired lieutenant and cnn's law enforcement analyst, live in honolulu, hawaii. what's the key here now? what's the focus as we move into

the next day for the investigators? >> well, the case still will be to determine whether he was absolutely alone. are there some other people out there that were conspiring with him and may attack another club or facility in the near future? they just didn't participate in this one. so, that's a key thing for the authorities or fbi to determine that he was absolutely alone and with the exception of a possible copy cat, they're not aware of anyone else participating in this conspiracy. >> and general, to you, it appears isis did not direct this; that they may have inspired the attack. but it's exactly what they would have wanted. it was a slaughter house. >> between 300 and 350 people. this was a phenomenal target for this individual. there had to be training,

recognizance. he had to prepare this thing long in advance knowing it was a special night with a specific hispanic party and with a number of people in there and the closed arena, it was just, like you said, a blood bath. >> and this is a huge propaganda win, right? >> first of all it hits the infedels. they have already said they're against gays and lesbians. so, it strikes that part of the target and again brings another attack on our soil from someone who's one of our citizens. i mean that's the most interesting piece. it goes after that call for action that he has made. >> and to you, fuentes, would you consider this a hate crime against the gay community or an act of terrorism or do you simply define it as both? >> i would define it as both and terrorism, by itself, pretty much is a hateful type crime, which is the purpose for

committing it, to strike terror. you hate an ideology or some other political reason that you want to use terrorism. so, when you have an attack based on religion, politics, national policy, some other reason like that, it's because you hate the way things are and want them to be changed and you can't do it at the ballot box or with your military. tats ahat's the purpose of terr and the extra hate added because isis does hate gays and we've seen the videos from raqqa where they push gay people off of tall buildings or stone them to death. so, this version of their religion that has no tolerance for the gay community. >> and in terms of the investigation, the atf is saying both these guns were in fact legally purchased. is that the end of that part of the investigation? >> well, i don't know what else

could be learned in that sense. the one thing that's going to be want to be learned booy the authorities is are those the only weapons used in the attack? whether they are ecovrecover bu victims, they're going to want to identify that all of them came from one or two of the weapons there. this individual was interviewed on two occasions by the fbi and still able to purchase a weapon. but someone does not have a constitutional right to fly on an airplane, therefore, they can be on the no-fly list but in america, unless they're mentally ill they have the right to go buy the weapon and so far they're not prohibited because of the second amendment in the united states. >> that's a good point.

would you consider this an act of international terrorism or gun control? >> a little bit of both and a hate crime. so, a combination of someone who's pledged allegiance to an islamist group. it's a hated crime to be sure and an issue of gun control. we're talking about a semiautomatic weapon which had to be reloaded several times. glock pistols. these are the kind of things not used in the hunting community or for sport. these are killing machines. and when you're talking about the individuals being dug out of the club right now, the unfortunates who have died, you're going to see weapons that have caused a massive amount of damage because they're military-style assault weapons. the rapid fire, so those bodies are going to be in very bad condition. >> reporter: you've seen up close the damage they can do. >> i have.

>> reporter: and fuenuntil a co of hours ago, mateen hadn't broken any laws. >> no, he did not. and we do know the weapons were purchased within the past week. so, he could have been radicalized to that extent over the edge just within the last week or two. he did buy those weapons legally. >> okay. thank you very much. we will take a short break but when we come back, as the world mourns the tragedy here in orlando, another attack may have been averted at the gay pride parade in los angeles. those details in a moment. i am rich.

police say the gunman, 29-year-old omar mateen had been working as a security officer for one of the world's largest security firms in the country. >> while authorities investigate the mass shooting in orlando, another tragedy may have been averted right here in los angeles. a man arrested had assault weapons and explosive material and he was headed to a gay pride event. >> reporter: just hours after the orlando mass murder began, as word spread about the shooting inside the pulse night club, police arrest 30-year-old james howl with a frightening ar arsenal. police find three assault rifles, high capacity magazines and ammunition, a gas canister, and a five gallon bucket with

chemicals capable of making a bomb. police says he tells them where he was going. >> he said he was going to pride and was heavily armed and apprehended by santa monica police department officials. >> reporter: arrested just before dawn, a neighbor reported a suspected prowler. they say he was sitting in his car with indiana plaltes, his home state. police say his 17-year-old boyfriend, in a lover's quarrel, accused him of placing an ar rifle at him the last year but that did not lead to an arrest. >> we do not have any additional information related to what his intentions were. >> reporter: police are looking at all this with new concern. thousands gathering for the l.a. gay pride parade, adding another layer of security, the city

decided the parade would go on. and it did. orlando had hastily made signs carried as a badge of solidarity. >> we're stronger than the fear, stronger than all of the scary things going on in the world right now. >> reporter: what could have been hovering over this community. >> thank god, seriously, thank god for the police catching this guy. it's sickening, it's crazy. >> reporter: cnn, santa monica, california. >> we're joined by laurie l. jean. thank you so much for joining us. our hearts, our prayers go out the community at this difficult time. how are you doing? how are you coming to terms with this? >> well, it's been a tough day. i woke up to a 6:15 text about the murders and i immediately experienced enormous grief and as the day went on, i grew

angry. >> why? >> because the focus has been on the influence of isis on this murderer. and that might have impacted him but you don't have to go to the middle east to learn this kind of bigotry and hatred, you can get it right here in the united states from many gop politicians who have foemmented this kind o violence. >> is that a feeling shared by many? is this what people are talking about in the community? >> oh, yes, many people are talking about this. many people are talking about being afraid but that we could not allow this act of hate and terror to stop us from celebrating. so, we marched in solidarity with orlando and celebrated in defiance of fear and bigotry. >> so this question of act of terrorism or hate crime, you say what? >> both. but we should not let people off the hook right here in the united states when candidates

like donald trump talk about rolling back all of the gains that lgbt people have made and promoting discrimination against us, when rubio talks about not allowing tuus to raise our children, that leads to this kind of violence. >> and to bring up something lena dunham and creator of the show "girls" tweeted on instagram. she said pulse, the club which was attack pd she said "pulse is more than a club. historically marginalized people need spaces to cultivate identity." it struck me as profound because too many people in the community, they don't feel safe or they have to put up with strange looks and criticisms. a place like pulse was where they went to be free and have a good time and it happened right here in what should have been a safe space. >> and that's what makes it so insidious and tearerizing. and even in los angeles, the

most recent hate crimes report show a 14% increase with a level of increased violence we hadn't seen in 13 years. so, while we have made much progress as a community, our work is far from done. >> patty, the florida law maker has been critical of the protections given to the lgbt community, saying this is moment that shines a light on that issue. talk to me about that and that issue of policing and protection. >> i think thei issue is very real. as long as lgbt people are treated as second class citizens, as long as we are religious leaders saying we threaten the reality of this country or a danger are children, that invites these sometimes crazy people to take actions like this murderer took yesterday. >> our hearts go out to you and
