10:00 pm
it's dark. you don't know what's going on. people are falling, glasses are getting dropped. >> we know enough to say that this is an act of tear and an act of hate. >> around 1:30 in the morning, we lost her inside the club. just had another baby three months ago. family 's devastated. >> no one can tell me where my family is. if he's been shot, if he's dead. >> if he's alive, is he breathing? >> we're making it clear, anyone who attacks the lgbt community, anyone in our state will be gone
10:01 pm
after to the fullest extent of the law. >> we're a resilient people. we're going to have people lined up behind the flood gates. we're going to show what the good heart of humanity is. >> welcome to the viewers in the united states and around the world. i i'mi i'mi i'm isha. >> 50 people were killed, 53 wounded and a terror attack at a gay night club here. authorities say the gunman, omar mateen called 911 and pledged allegiance to isis during the three-hour long siege but his ties remain unclear. a witness shared video of the gun fire as police stormed the club. [ gun fire]
10:02 pm
mateen was killed when police went to rescue the hostages. the fbi had investigated the 29 year old in the past due to ties to terrorism. but wasn't found to be a threat. his ex-wife said he was abusive. >> emotional stability, sickness. mentally unstable and mentally ill. that's the only explanation i could give and he was disturbed, deeply and traumatized. >> this was the 15th mass shooting during barack obama's presidency. and he once again raised the issue of gun control. >> today marks the most deadly shooting in american history. the shooter was armed with a handgun and powerful assault rifle. this massacre is a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a
10:03 pm
weapon that lets them shoot people in a house of worship, in a school, a movie theater, or in a night club and we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be and to actively do nothing is a decision as well. >> mourners gathered at candle lite vigils in orlando and around the world to honor the victims of this tragedy. nick valencia joins us in a moment but we'll start with jessica snider who is near the pulse night club. walk us through the timeline of exactly what happened and when. >> yeah, john. pulse night club, it was packed when this all started unfolding. about 350 people inside the night club. this was a very popular night for pulse, latin night, saturday night, their big night. then law enforcement says at 2:00 a.m., the gunman burst in. the first person he encountered
10:04 pm
was an off-duty police officer. then at 2:22 a.m. when the gunman hadd started shooting, h called 911 and plsqand pledged allegiance to isis and mentioned the boston marathon bombers. he was shooting people, taking hostages. this was occurring in two different areas of the night club. in the meantime, about a hundred or more officers were surrounding the night club and finally at 5:00 a.m., they were able to take away some of the hostages, rescue them and that's ultimately when they shot and killed the gunman around 5:00 a.m. >> and in between the time when the gun fire first began and that 5:00 a.m. raid by the police, the three hours, there's now some horrific stories of how
10:05 pm
people managed to survive inside that club. >> reporter: we're just getting a glimpse of it. we're even seeing text messages between people inside the club, desperately asking their family members to call police for help and we're hearing stories about some of the survivors. one woman who was inside a bathroom and actually used some dead bodies to cover herself to stay safe. she did survive. a bartender hid underneath the glass bar until she heard police come in and they said if you're alive, put your hand up and we heard stories about people in a back dressing room, huddling together to stay safe. finally they bust through an air conditioning unit. so, a lot of harrowing and intense moments that some of these people did survive. john. >> okay. jessica, thank you. let's go to nick valencia.
10:06 pm
here's more on the victims and their families. only a handful have been officially identified. this must be an agonizing weight for the loved ones of anyone who may have been inside that club. >> of the 50 people who were gunned down, only seven names have been released by authorities here. so many other of these friends and family of the victims affected here at 2:00 a.m. yesterday, it had been a very pain staking process. news has been in limited supply. we spoke with one woman who still doesn't know the fate of her brother and won't know until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. and so many people are going to have to relive it once they find out if their loved ones were among those killed. we have been talking about this all morning long, all night long, i should say and when you talk about this being the
10:07 pm
deadliest shooting on u.s. soil since 9/11, the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history. that is jaw dropping but when you start to hear the stories that effected these people, that's when it really brings meaning to these jaw dropping numbers. and one was at the night club last night when the gunman began his massacre and says he left his friend in the club. has no idea if that friend is still alive. >> at first it sounded like it was part of the show because there was an event going on. we were all having a good time but when people started screaming and shots keep ringing ou out, you know it's nauta show anymore and you got to do what you got to do. >> we're in front of the new staging area for friends and family of the victims of this tragedy. this is the second staging area.
10:08 pm
they're behind me here in that building. a lot of really tense moments here. we saw a short time ago, about two hours ago, a family just inconsoleable. we don't know what they were dryidry crying about. perhaps they had received news of their loved one. but it speaks to rawness in the community. >> and is there any indication why this seems to be taking such a long time? >> reporter: well, you think about the numbers. there's well over 100 people shot, that includes the 50 dead. so, this is a long process. a frustrating process for a lot of infamily because they can only speculate that because of the sheer volume of casualties in this case that it's taking a long time and hasn't stopped people from being critical of the local authorities.
10:09 pm
when we were at the first staging area, there was an individual who blamed authorities by name saying if this happened in a richer community, in another community that perhaps the offices for information would not be closed, perhaps they'd be getting news of their loved ones. they want answers and they don't seem to be out here right now for many of these friends and family. >> nick, thank you. al also, jessica. thank you to you both. joined by lieutenant general and adam leaven from irvin, california. director of the study of hate and extremism. bryan, we do know isis put out this call at the start of ramadan, about a week ago, to carry out these kinds of attacks. where did it come from? how was it worded and communicated to people like
10:10 pm
mateen here? >> they put this out on a variety of social media and on the dark web. it's my guess that this is someone who was inspired by isis rather than orchestrated and directed. several weeks ago isis came out with a new magazine. interestingly enough, they were primarily aiming their ire at muslims around the world. but the bottom line is that these folks can get radicalized by one group and the baton can be passed to another group. that's what happened in san bernardino. one of the things i warned congress late last year is because of isis's ability to use the internet, the dark web and social media, even when they
10:11 pm
were under pressure they were still getting their message out and unlike europe where they're orchestrating groups that have gone and then come back to europe. they have mentally unstable folks and others. and what we've seen is a significant increase over the last several years with respect to these attacks. indeed san bernardino and this attack alone represent a significant amount of the fatalities post 9/11 from jihadist attacks. but we also see loan wolves on the right wing as well. but the biggest threat are loan wolves and remember, isis would love to coordinate an attack if they could. they just don't have that wide and deep bench that they have of criminals and malcontents and recruiters that they have on the ground in places like belgium
10:12 pm
and france. >> given the fact that isis is being squeezed militarily, is this the kind of attack we're seeing in orlando, is that now the major way of striking a blow on western targets? >> it certainly is. it's at least contributing to that. when you talk about the fact that you have an element being defeated on the battle field, losing ground, losing their capability, having to strike out, that was part of the message, go out and attack in other places. certainly easier to do in european because you have that flow. but here, the kind of radical extremists are those who are like this one, has been m misbehaving, has law problems, and they're ready to conduct operations because they just don't fit in at times. >> and to you, the fact that mateen made this telephone call
10:13 pm
to the authorities, the 9/11 call pledging allegiance to the leader of isis, do you have any idea why he would do it that way, as opposed to leaving a note on social media? >> the purpose was he probably didn't get to do it on social media and it may have come as an after thought. malik who attacked our community ledged allegiance on social media. at that time, isis radio, for instance, declared her a follower and supporter, rather than a warrior, which is how this assailant was referred to. but right now it doesn't appear there's everyday of any direct orc stragz and one of the things i think is interesting, is as they're losing the number of foreign fighters coming to theater, how their ground war is closing in a bit yet they're
10:14 pm
still able to inspire these attacks and like a caged animal, they can be the most dangerous when they appear under pressure. this is going to be a long thing and as i said before, we will get hit again because we have so many people, eight to nine 00 investigations going on in all 50 states and a very sophisticated, though under pressure, internet and dark web presence. so, they'll fight back the only way they can which is through this inspirational, rather than operationally trained folks like this particular assailant. >> okay. general, i want to take a different tack here because you live here, made a decision to make this your home after retiring. as someone who's a member of this community, how difficult has this been for you and who you share the community with? >> striking. i can't describe what this felt
10:15 pm
like. because i've seen multiple years in combat, seen soldiers die fighting against terrorists and when you wake up in your home town to this degree, this isn't far away anymore, this isn't paris, brussels. this is a place known for mickey mouse and disney world, so, yeah, it was tough to take. the combination of an extremists fighting in this land, in this city as well as someone with this much hate against this many people and to have it effect the community but they're rebounding. this is a wonderful place to live and you're seeing that in the people coming out providing support, the emergency services and hospitals working together to treat patients and care for the people around. that's the very good thing about orlando. >> and thank these were innocent
10:16 pm
defenseless people. >> they were. and it has to do with this style of attack when you're using automatic rifles with bullets that tumble and the carnage that this creates, these are the kind of things that occur when you have a terrorist attacking unarmed people like this and no amount of fighting back inineen do anything. >> and we are slowly learning the names of the victims of this attack as orlando authorities and nar families identify them. and there's no word yet on his condition. the city of orlando names. john ramon guerrero, luis omar
10:17 pm
ocasio-capo, as well as kimberley morris. and we had your reaction just ahead. coming from the gunman's father. why he says he's puzzled by his son's actions. >> plus, after the orlando tragedy, police arrested the man headed to the l.a. pride parade. why he may have threatened the gay pride ivent coming up. calling all go-getters. all providers. all self-motivated self-starters.

10:22 pm
mass shooting in modern u.s. history. i'm isha sesay in los angeles. >> i'm john vause live in orlando. around 350 people were inside the pulse night club. many families still desperately waiting to learn what happened to their loved ones. 29-year-old omar mateen pledged allegiance to isis. his parents said he had expressed out rage after seeing two men kiss in miami but they didn't know any connection he had to the terror group. we're hearing from the gunman's father. >> he came in yesterday to see me and his mom and that was the last time that i saw him. i didn't see anything different than what he used to be. so, i'm really puzzled and am
10:23 pm
very saddened and very upset what happened there because they are my family, all those deceased people. they are my family. and those people, they got injured, i pray for them that they get healthy soon. in the united states, i gave him the best education possible. he had his own house, his own life. so, he was living separately. and we provided for him love and care the best possible way a father and a mother can provide. so, what had happened, it really surprised me. radicalism, now, when someone becomes radical, they grow long beard and they wear clothes that you know, long clothes.
10:24 pm
i don't think religion or islam had nothing to do with this. >> mateen, omar mateen's father. he moved his family here from afghanistan but omar was born in the united states. i'll have much more from orlando but in the meantime, back to isha in los angeles. >> american muslim leaders are pe speaking out. it's the largest muslim civil rights and advocacy organization in the u.s., the national executive director called the attack appalling. >> this is a hate crime. plane and simple. we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. it violates our principals as americans and as muslims. let me be clear, we have no tolerance for extremism of any
10:25 pm
kind. we must not tolerate hateful rhetoric that insights violence against minorities. religious freedom is the corner stone of our believes as muslims and as americans. >> cnn law enforcement contributor and fbi retired special agent is back with us now. i want to pick up on what the father said, omar mateen's father said. saying he didn't feel he was radicalized because he didn't have a long beard, flowing robes. what do you make of his statements? >> i believe him. i believe that's what he believed. but you look back and three years ago, two years ago, the fbi was investigating him because of radicalization and radical ideas that had caused so much concern with other people that they reported it to the fbi. i don't think average radical
10:26 pm
islamist is going to tell their parents that that's where their parents are going, especially if they don't believe the parents are going to be sympathet took that belief. >> and you mentioned the fbi speaking to mateen already. did the system fail here? >> they have the right to ask that question. but let me explain how it works. you have the joint terrorism task force in most of these cities. i was the al qaeda sprupervisor and every day when you come to work, there are going to be 10 to 20 leads, investigative instructions to the team involving people that we started to call just suspicious arab neighbors. so much of our time, the majority of our investigative time was vetting these reports and finding out whether these people were truly somebody that
10:27 pm
was dangerous or somebody we should go forward with. he had a lot of people to look at who were very dangerous and in the way you would triage something, when you triage the situation, you had to take your limited resources and put it towards the most damaging people, the most dangerous people, and you had to be quick to discontinue investigations on people that you couldn't determine were dangerous. >> so, that may come out in the days ahead that they wanted to but couldn't. what questions do you want answered on the part of the fbi in the days ahead? >> i would want to know -- at some point they discontinued -- it's called discontinue the investigation. i would want to know how the person who made that decision made the decision. what facts did they base that
10:28 pm
on? and frankly, in the fbi, i only had 25 people to work al qaeda in all of los angeles. i didn't have enough people to cover the imminent dangers that we had, much less the people we couldn't vet. >> scary, scary stuff. we always appreciate the insight and the honesty. we're going to live to orlando with more on who the shooter was and how the city's gay community is responding to the attack.

10:32 pm
while the motive behind this mass shooting still remains unclear, lets be quite clear. our resolve to live openly, proudly and genuinely remains completely undiminished. >> you're watching cnn's breaking news coverage of the worst terror attack in the united states since 9/11. i'm isha sesay live in los angeles. >> and i'm john vause live in orlando. 50 people were killed, another 53 wounded in this attack on a gay night club. a u.s. official says the gunman called 911 during the shooting to pledge allegiance to isis. they shot and killed 29-year-old omar mateen.
10:33 pm
the fbi interviewed him in 2013 and 2014 but ties to any terror groups were apparently inconclusive. and director for the sencenter study of hate and extrooemisext. what does the profile of the gunman tell you about him? >> well, what we've noticed is there are a fair number of folks, the average age we've been seeing has been about 26. and what's interesting is how fast people can radicalize and my guess would be that he dined from a buffet of hate, which might have included materials from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and their inspire magazine and isis or dash's magazine, but what we're seeing here in the united states, many
10:34 pm
of these investigations and many of these cases are folks who have -- disenchanted, have some form of anger, instability and they're the ones that are scooped up by groups like isis but not necessarily directly. they're not being orchestrated. they're being inspired. and what they're told is hit in your own communities, soft targets. don't necessarily worry about hitting the big symbolic ones and hit soft targets which will make a statement and claim responsibility after the attack. and let me just say our hearts go out to all friends and fam y family. >> there are a lot of similarities being drawn about this attack and the one at the bataclan club in paris.
10:35 pm
this was one gunman with one automatic weapon, so it seems. so, apart from his training as a security guard, do you suspect that maybe there was something else here, more training we're not aware of at this point? >> i don't know. it's a good question but that will be something they'll try to look at. was there a small group of terrorists training and others are going to do other attacks along the way at a later date? and that's kind of what happened with farook in san bernardino. he was looking two years earlier to do an attack with a group out of los angeles, except the fbi arrested the whole group and he had to post pone his idea until he did the attack in san bernardino. these are the connections the fbi will try and look at. the email traffic, phone calls and text messages. see if he was using encrypted
10:36 pm
applications which is going to make it difficult to crack those codes and find out who he was talking to if there was anybody else involved. your guest mentioned how quickly the radicalization process takes place. the fbi refers to that as the time it takes to go from flash to bang and they mean that someone all of a sudden decides that is it, i'm going to go forward and do something and that flash to bang would be six months, twelve months. and they're seeing that happen now in a matter of weeks with some individuals. we know he just bought these guns this week. it could have been just that, that he wasn't talking about a terror attack and as short as a week ago decided to do this. >> when you look at the tactics police used in this instance, there was a three hour delay
10:37 pm
between the gun fire beginning and when they stormed the club. do you believe that possibly mateen was trying to draw police officers into the club to increase the death toll because they don't negotiate to bring a peaceful resolution, don't they? >> one of the things i thought is significant is not only the ar-15 and a handgun but the small and densely populated location that he chose. so, if police had engaged them there could have been a lot of casualties in the cross fire. we're going to see as the investigation unfolds what exactly happened and what the timeline was with respect to people who were killed. it's just too early now to make some kind of tactical conclusion. but i can assure you that one of the things that we generally see is that the killings in many of
10:38 pm
the cases, 40 to 50% or more are c done before law enforcement arrives. so, let's see what happens and one other quick thing. they did not know at the time whether or not there were others involved. it's a fluid and split second situation where people's lives depend on it and at least if someone can be isolated and contained and they're not killing someone at that time, it might have been valuable to freeze the action. we simply don't know. but that's something we're going to be looking at in the days and weeks to come. >> i'd like to hear tom fuentes opinion. please. >> i'd like to say that along those lines there is a possibility that there was more than one shooter there and that the others may have fired their weapons and ran out and out the back door, an alleyway and
10:39 pm
escaped. one of the more meticulous gruesome tasks is to try to recover every single bullet fired and remove it from the walls, the ceiling and unfortunately, from each body living and dead and see if they match the two weapons carried by mateen and the possibility you could have friendly fire that may have taken a couple of victims when police were firing back at them. so, that's part of the ballistics, forensic work is to account for every bullet and try to match every bullet to the weapon that fired it. >> and at this point, this is not a criticism of the police here who obviously risked their lives to end this siege and no one knows what the right call would have been, we just have to trust they did what they think was best. and thanks to you both.

>> that this community is targeted at all is heart breaking but it coming in the month of june, which is pride month. >> the whole idea that the lgbt community would be targets during pride month made me sick. the idea that pride was actually born out of the stone wall riots, that the violence that they faced is what brought them to move forward to march and declare pride. that's what pride's history is and so today we once again stood in solidarity with orlando and the lgbt community in orlando and throughout the world to say we will not go back in the closet, we will stand proud, together as a community and we continue to march towards equality. that's who we are as americans and nathat's what the community stands for. >> and there are some who have
