“We heard rapid fire go off. In the room I was in, people went down to the floor. I wasn’t able to see the shooter or people get hurt,” Ricardo Negron Almodovar told the BBC.

“At some point, there was a brief pause, and a group of us got up and went to the exit that leads to the patio area outside. We found an exit and after that… I just ran.”

As bullets started flying, Pulse went on Facebook and urged party-goers to ‘get out and keep running’.

So far, 50 people have been reported dead, with 53 injured in the shooting.

Police said a gunman, who has been identified as US citizen Omar Mateen, age 29, shot dead at least 50 people and injured 53 others in a crowded gay nightclub before being killed by police in a shoot-out. Authorities described this as a ‘domestic terrorism incident’.

Police chief John Mina said the suspect exchanged gunfire with an officer working at the club around 2am, then went back inside and took hostages.

It was said that shortly before the attack, Mateen called 911 and pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Around 5am, authorities sent in a SWAT team to rescue the hostages. The suspect then died in a gunfight with the officers.

Javer Antonetti, 53, told the Orlando Sentinel that he was near the back of the dance club when he heard gunfire.

“There were so many (shots), at least 40,” he said, “I saw two guys and it was constant, like “pow, pow, pow”” 

Christopher Hansen said he was in the VIP lounge when he started hearing gunshots

“I was thinking, are you kidding me? So I just dropped down. I just said please, please, please, I want to make it out (alive),” he said

“And when I did, I saw people shot. I saw blood. You hope and pray you don’t get shot.”
