– ‘I’m trapped’ –
Witness Janiel Gonzalez described scenes of mayhem as the gunman sprayed revelers with bullets.
“It was like complete chaos,” he told AFP. “It was like a scene out of a movie. People were screaming ‘Help me, help me, I’m trapped.’”
“People were getting trampled. There was no clear exit sign at the club, so we didn’t know which door to take or where to go.
The massacre – which coincided with Gay Pride month in the United States – cast a long shadow over the parade in Los Angeles.
Chillingly, a man was arrested in nearby Santa Monica with weapons and explosives in his car.
Police said he had no known connection to the Orlando bloodshed.
