Witnesses Describe Horror: ‘I Look up and the Security Guard Is Dead’

‘The gunman was throwing smoke grenades all over the place’

HEDGE: “I just started hearing these big pops, pop, pop, pop. There was probably three or four and I hit the ground, I look up and the security guard is dead — I don’t want to say dead, but he was shot, he was down. And the gunman was throwing smoke grenades all over the place. I saw him point to the back of the cash register and he just kept firing.”

WHITTLER: "Everybody yelled 'Get down!' So I ran to the left of the dance floor where the backdoor is and everybody pretty much dogpiled on top of each other, and then all of a sudden a couple of guys that were closer to the bar, they got up and started running towards the backdoor and said, 'Get up, he’s coming.'"

UKNOWN: "There were just young people, like 18, 19, 20, just having a great time. And then this maniac came in and started shooting people for no reason at all. These people never hurt anybody in their lives and they are just kids. They are just kids."
