victims were still inside the club. >> i was trying to put myself in their position, just not knowing if their loved one was in the hospital or if their loved one was still at the nightclub. you know, i just want to say that i'm proud that we were there to be there for them. it's very humbling. >> that was scott pelley reporting. cbsn will be streaming a news conference from orlando regional medical center. we'll hear from the shooting survivors and surgeons. that starts at 10:30 eastern. still ahead, he helped dozens escape the nightclub carnage. we'll meet a former marine who describes the terrifying first shots and how he narrowly missed the killer.
