    Horrific.
    Saw this comment on Facebook if anyone wants to know more about it:

    There was a shooter with an assault rifle who shot up the people in the club sometime around 2am. The club is reported to have been at full capacity. The shooter has himself barricaded inside Pulse with multiple hostages. This is per a private source. Initial assessment and estimate was at least 20 red tagged patients per OFD. They are prepared to take 20 trauma alerts at ORMC. Yellow and green tag patients will be welcome at florida hospital east. Florida hospital orlando has taken on two red tags so far. They have reached out to seminole fire and rescue and placed their units on standby. Orlando sounds like they are charge. They just made ballistic vests available to the fire and ems first responders in the red zone. The walking wounded are walking to a treatment area behind Einstein bagels. All that info is from a police scanner. And being updated as it happens.

    3:23. Active fired shots outside ORMC.
    3:24. The shooter at ORMC is inside the hospital. They can no longer take any pts. The shooter is locked inside ORMC.
    3:27 three MORE trauma alerts
    3:28 ORMC is no longer on lockdown. They are requested ONLY trauma alerts now. No walking wounded will be there. ONLY trauma alerts.
    3:34 they reached 250 victims
    3:39 i think they just said they have transported all patients and are waiting to hear from the interior of the structure
    3:50 they are having to pull OPD to a large gathering at Columbia. Everyone get back in your houses. Go home. You are pulling resources for selfish reasons.
    3:56 they requested one more transport. So they have one more patient. It has really slowed down though. They just told someone to stage.
    4:19 they are being told they are expecting more patients who might be coming out right now.
    4:23 there are 8 patients coming out
    4:24 they are not tagged yet. They just know they have 8 patients walking out to the treatment area.
    5:16 gunfire!
    5:18 officer injury
    5:19 new victim at treatment
    5:20 trauma alert with RMA to ORMC AND OPD is transporting one of their own to ORMC not waiting on transport
    5:27 another victim being rolled out
    5:30 OPD is transporting victims to ORMC. not waiting on treatment.
    5:32. Two more trauma alerts.
    They are establishing a second treatment group due to this confusion.
    5:42 greens and yellows being transported

    Please listen for yourself. It appears they are just staging now waiting for the interior of the building to be cleared. I believe the shooter may still be inside but i have no idea.

    Praying for all of the victims.

    Especially praying for my brothers and sisters working this tragedy as the first responders as well as all of my ER nurses, medics, hospital security and everyone else. Please stay safe. I love you all. Orlando and Orange county and rural metro along with all of you in dispatch.... you were very organized and it was a smooth MCI. I am very impressed on how you have handled this, tonight. Have to get some sleep so i can join you tomorrow on shift. #EMSfamily

    Shooter is dead according to police tweet- 6am
    Dr Phillip ER has had some transported there as well.

    Press conference recap from BBC
    - "Multiple people are dead inside Pulse Orlando nightclub"
    - "At least 42 people have been taken to hospitals"
    - "Our officer engaged in a gun battle with the suspect"
    - "This turned into a hostage situation"
    - "The decision was made to rescue hostages"
    - "We exchanged fire and the suspect is dead"
    - "We consider this an act of terrorism, whether it's domestic or international"

    Now looks like it could be related to Islamic terrorism.

    Could be twice as big as Columbine in terms of vics, nearly on par with VTech.
