well today we learned what the gunman said to the orlando 911 center after he set in motion the worst mass shooting in u.s. history. omar mateen who killed 49 people, pledged himself to the leader of isis in his call and in several calls that a police negotiator made to his cell phone. here is david begnaud. [ gunfire ] >> oh, my god, people are getting shot, dude. >> reporter: chilling, calm, deliberate, how police described omar mateen. the fbi released the transcript of a 50 second 911 call from inside the club 30 minutes after he opened fire. mateen, in the name of god the merciful, the beneficent.
2:11 am
shortly after that 911 call, the fbi says crisis negotiators talked with mateen three different times between 2:48 a.m. and 3:24. in that time, mateen called himself an islamic soldier. and told negotiators to stop bombing syria and iraq saying that's why he was out here right now. among the lingering questions for orlando police chief john mina its whether police inadvertently shot any bystanders. >> how likely is it that some victims may have been shot and killed by police gunfire in the initial attempt to save lives. >> that is all part of the investigation. what i will tell you, those killings are on the suspect, the sus pa suspect alone. mina tried to clear up misconceptions that officials did nothing in the three hour standoff between the initial police engagement and when mateen was killed. >> during that time our officers were intermitently in and out of

rescuing people from inside the club. >> reporter: at 4:21 a.m., orlando police pulled an air conditioner out of a window allowing them to rescue eight hostages. at 4:29 some of those rescued told police the shooter was going to put suicide vests on the remaining victims. at 5:02,the swat team breached a wall with an explosive. 5:15, mateen was down. no explosives were ever found. the shooter's body was released to day to his family. scott, the medical examiner kept the shooter in a separate facility away from the victims. he told us there was no special reason for that other than it just seemed like the right thing to do. david begnaud reporting tonight. thank you. by the way that 911 transcript was released this morning in a censored form, deleting the references to isis. but after heavy criticism for censoring a public dock m,
