in an interview with our sisterr station in new york, jeanette mccoy says she made it out of the club and couldn't believeou police were waiting to go in. there was anger because i was there when all the cops there were there. i was yelling at them. i didn't understand why they w didn't go in. they should have went there's no way that am shots should be shot and they'rehey' standing back. jeanette, you feel like policeeo waited too long before theyhe actually got inside the club. >> absolutely. i have videos of me screaming at the cops telling them that theyt should be going in there and shooting him because the the consistency of the shots, it's not as if the guy waited. they were in there. i saw when the cops started tohe shoot, but then they retaliated back. infuriated.n as a civilian i really wanted te go in there and if i had a gun i wanted to get this guy myself. police have said they waited toe go in because the shooting turned into a hostage situationt there were also initial concerns that the gunman had explosives to take out first responders tonight some of the responders wh

jeanette mccoy drove to the club saturday night and was inside with her friends when the shooting began. another friend shielded mccoy, taking a gunshot to the back and allowing her to escape. she says her grief has made it hard to sleep. >> we lost so many people. we lost a part of us. people don't realize. there's people who were dead, but the ones that survived, we can't hold a service for our heads. >> brangham: this man can't escape the images of what he saw when he escaped the club. >> i can hear people moaning. i could hear people screaming for help. when they came and got us, we had to physically walk by the dead bodies. >> brangham: mccoy says she believes the police waited too long to rush in, which allowed it to become a hostage situation. >> through all of this that was going on, the gunshots did not stop. i'm yelling at the cops and telling them it made no sense. it's one individual. how it is that there are hundreds of cops out there and no one is going in? >> brangham: but others believe officials did the best they could and know is the time to focus on the future. don pr

. >> reporter: in an abc news exclusive, jeanette mccoy, and evan, telling us they're lucky to be aliveside the pulse nightclub when the gunman opened fire. >> the gunshots were just automatic. it was just boom, boom, boom. boom, boom. just headed in our direction. there's a girl in front. i'm seeing her get hit going into the bar. my initial reaction is to get out. we're falling on the ground. everyone is trampling over each other. i'm trying to get up. and all i'm thinking is, i'm just feeling, just like bullets are flying. you felt all the gunfire. even though this is close, the sounds were closer and closer and closer to us. >> reporter: but as gunfire echoed through the club the shooter silent. >> he wasn't saying anything. >> reporter: he was shooting people at point-blank -- or just indiscriminately. >> indiscriminately. i thought i was going to die. >> there were at least 20 people dead in the vicinity of where i was. it was hard knowing that i'm alive because my buddy was right behind me. and he gets shot in his back. and he's in there. and his first concern was, where's jeanet

. >> so, survivor jeanette mccoy said he's shot at least 100 rounds, at least 100 people are dead, goion to wait almost three hours before storming the place. >> in situations like this, they could be very chaotic and the first officers on the scene did not know a number of things. one, they didn't know how many shooters they were dealinging with. they didn't know what type of weaponry this guy had. they didn't know if there were any bombs planted. so i think they made a critical decision at that time. i appreciate the victim's response and the things that the victim said, however, as law enforcement officers, as you know, we train for these situations day in and literally day out. every day. we train for these situations, so i think the officers probably did the best they could with the time that they had. and the information that they had at that time. >> and one of the piece of information that they had at the time, mateen was telling the police on the phone that he was going to strap explosive vests on four hostages and place them in separate corners of the building. he also said
