kind of walking across the lawn here. they really can't drive out of here because it's shut down. the police are keeping it pretty tight, the perimeter, that is. i was talking to officers and they'll work to let us get a little bit closer so hopefully we can get closer and not get in their way throughout this broadcast, but for now we're working on the scene and getting as much information about this and a tour bus with multiple injuries right here in the mount vernon area. we'll send it back to you for now. >> now to the deadly terror attack in orlando. we're getting a dramatic picture of what happened inside that nightclub on that terrible night. >> for the first time some of the victims that were held hostage in the bathroom are telling their stories. our team coverage begins with nbc's jay gray who is live in orlando. jay? >> hey, wendy, jim and the details are just terrifying, chilling. a man and woman trapped inside the nightclub

one of them coming face to face with the gunman during the attack. >> oh, my god. people are getting shot. >> today for the first time since the attack, we're getting a closer look inside the chaos from a hostage. >> bullets start coming through the stall wall towards us. i was on the ground in a pool of blood. i wasn't sure whose it was. >> angel santiago and patience carter were shot and held at gun point by the alleged shooter omar mateen. >> we got trapped in there. the gunman was shooting his machine gun and we were all scrambling around in the bathroom screaming at the top of our lungs. >> carter says mateen was calm and deliberate during the attack. >> he pledges allegiance to isis and he started speaking and i believe after he got off the phone with 911 he started speaking in arabic, and he spoke to us directly in the bathroom. >> telling survivors to stay of

the phone as the massacre continued. >> i never thought in a million years that my eyes could witness something so tragic. mateen's current wife noor zahi salman tried to stop him. she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster and drove him to the pulse nightclub weeks before the shooting spree. police and federal agents are investigating her role and the fbi is taking a serious and much closer look now at reports at those in orlando's gay community that he had been seen in gay nightclubs and pulse for years and communicated with gay men online. >> i recognized from the apps and i instantly blocked him because he was, like, very creepy in his messages and i blocked him immediately. >> the latest piece of a tragic puzzle here as the investigation continues. >> reporter: and we are told that president obama continues to get updates on that investigation. he'll travel here on thursday to

with the families of the victims. that's the latest live in orlando. back to you. >> thanks, jay. strong comments today from president obama on politics and terrorism. after a briefing on the battle against isis, the president delivered a scathing rebuke of donald trump's policies and his political rhetoric. >> there's no magic to the phrase radical islam, it's a political talking point. it's not a strategy. not once has an adviser of mine said man, if we really used that phrase we're going to turn this whole thing around. not once. we now have proposals from the presumptive republican nominee for president of the united states to bar all muslims from emigrates to america. we hear language that singles out immigrants, and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence. where does

do republican officials actually agree with this? >> the president also called for reinstatement of the assault weapons ban, the ban that expired in 2004. our team coverage continues now with steve handelsman who is at the white house right now. steve? >> reporter: jim, thanks. president obama did not even try to disguise his anger at donald trump for trump implying that his weakness or political correctness or something even more sinister like sympathy with the extremists instead of a rational choice that has our commander in chief avoiding using the term radical islamic terrorists. >> if someone seriously thinks that we don't know who we're fighting. >> president obama mocked donald trump's demand to use the term radical islamic terror saying that would help isis recruit in the u.s. >> and imply that we are at war with an entire religion then we are doing the terrorist's work for them. >> reporter: the

born in new york, but mr. trump renewed his call to ban muslims from entering the u.s. >> we cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country, many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer. >> it won't make us more safe. it will make us less safe fueling isil's notion that the west hates muslims. >> republican house speaker paul ryan agreed. >> this is a war with radical islam. it's not a war with islam. i do not think a muslim ban is in our country's interest. >> reporter: the house was disrupted by democrats demanding an assault weapons ban pushed today by hillary clinton. >> people being watched by the fbi for suspected terrorist links can buy a gun with no questions asked. that is absurd. >> reporter: president obama told trump andep

>> actually be tough on terrorism and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons. >> reporter: in a statement the republican party blamed mr. obama for the rise of isis and charged he would deny the americans the guns they need to defend themselves against isis terror. the president said today there's progress in the war against isis in iraq and syria, but he called it very hard here in the u.s. to detect and stop isis-inspired attacks like the one in orlando. live at the white house, steve handelsman, news 4, wendy. >> thank you, steve. >> as you've heard in the program, the victims from the orlando night dlub shooting are starting to share their stories of survival, their stories of loss and their stories of healing. as news 4's aaron gilchrist reports from orlando, that healing is not just from physical wounds and the emotional toll of an entire city. >> we don't know yet when the pulse nightclub will reopen, but the

they have a new result to show support. >> i'm seeing a lot of people who are standing on the sidewalk standing on the sidewalk now stepping into the street and fighting with us. >> reporter: when the pain of so much death begins to lessen the living here who speak so much of love now know that they have work to do. >> i think we need to have more discussions on how we can best protect ourselves from those types of situations and how we can identify those type of people that will be suspects. >> i can't stop going to work. i can't stay in the house and stay afraid of everything and eventually everyone will have to go out and feel safe in this community. >> reporter: even as this community tries to return to business as usual, the victims of the shooting of the nightclub will not be forgotten. there are more vigils planned and fund raisers planned to help the survivors and their families as orlando never forgets. in orlando, aaron gilchrist, news 4. let's take a live look at nats park. it is the 12th annual night o

and terrorized fisher and duncan for three hours, tasing, stabbing and shooting them and then leaving them both for dead. the attack came just two weeks after fisher law firm fired schmuhl's wife alicia. schmuhl and his wife were caught by police soon after they fled. in a bizarre twist, he was wearing only a diaper. indeed, schmuhl appeared drugged and dazed in the hospital that night, but prosecutors say it was because he downed a handful of drugs during the getaway. schmuhl's attorneys tried to convince jurors that alicia was the mastermind and a drugged schmuhl was following orders and jurors didn't buy that either. a statement from the victim's law firm which reads in part, we are grateful that the jury's guilty verdicts in the prosecutor for andrew schmuhl mark the beginning of closure for him. this was a horrific ordeal no one can fly

mainly because we're the same age yet he's considered to be old. >> he is the longest tendered redskin on the roster and he's 33 years old and get this, his daughter is a senior in high school. the man has children around the same age as some of these rookies on this team as he enters his 11th season in the nfl i'm not sure you want to call this guy old. >> yeah, in football dog years, but i would challenge any of those people to wake up with me at 6:30 in the morning and work out and let's see who's really old. i try to keep myself in good shape and i understand this is a young man's game, so you have to compete at a high level and i was taught at a young age that this would be the best part-time job you ever had and whether you play one year or play ten, 11, 12 it's still a part-time job and i try to make the most out of every day and every opportunity. kendrick olson still has a few more years left in the tank. we'll move on to baseball right now because the

cubs tonight at nats park and geo gonzalez is on the mound for dusty baker and he's lost the last four starts and they send their closer, jonathan papelbon to the disabled list and it's the first time in his 11-year career that papelbon has been placed on the d.l. he's been placed on the disabled list with the right intercostal strain. he's converted 6 of the 18 saves this season though he did give up a game time home run. according to dusty baker it all started right before they came in. >> he said he felt it when he was warming up two days ago to come in the game. he didn't think anything of it, but then when he came in the next day all crooked and he couldn't straighten out, you know something was wrong. almost when he comes back it will be almost like trading him for a new player because he'll be strong. >> first pitch tonight just after 7:00 between the nationals
