– ‘Blood everywhere’ –
Witness Christopher Hanson said he heard “loud banging noises, like gunshots going off.”
“I didn’t see any of the actual shooters. I just saw bodies going down and I was ordering a drink at the bar.
“I fell down. I crawled out. People were trying to escape out the back. I just know that when I hit the ground, I was crawling and I hit my elbows and my knees,” he told CNN.
He said there was “blood everywhere.”
Rosie Feba was at the club with a friend when the shooting broke out.
“She told me someone was shooting. Everyone was getting on the floor,” Feba told the Orlando Sentinel. “I told her I didn’t think it was real, I thought it was just part of the music, until I saw fire coming out of his gun.”
The incident came on the heels of a deadly shooting at the nearby Plaza Live Theater in which a heavily-armed gunman shot and critically wounded singer Grimmie, a former contestant on the popular TV talent show “The Voice.”
She was rushed to hospital but died of her wounds.
The Plaza gunman, 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl, then killed himself. His motive remains unknown.
