THIS IS SOUTH FLORIDA'S CBS
4 NEWS.
BUT HIT THE SIDE OF MY
HEAD.
AND WE WENT D WITHIN A
MATTER OF
MINUTES.
NOW AT 6:00, GETTING OUT
ALIVE.
TERRIFYING STORIES AFTER THE
MASSACRE IN
ORLANDO.
AND MANY OF THOSE SURVIVORS
TOLD
THEIR STORIED TO TOO.
AND SOUR -- SOURCES TELLING
CBS NEWS
TRIED AND FAILED TO STOP HIM
FROM CARRYING OUT
THE ATTACK.
ALSO THE ONE ORLANDO FUND
STARTED BY
ORLANDO'S MAYOR TO HELP THE
VICTIMS AND THEIR
FAMILIES IS GROWING.
DISNEY JUST DONATED
$1 MILLION.
AND SO MANY EMOTIONAL
MOMENTS TODAY AT
TWO ORLANDO HOSPITALS AS WE
HEARD FIRST-HAND
ACCOUNTS FROM CLUB GOERS WHO
WERE SHOT.
CBS 4 ANCHOR WAS THERE TO
HEAR THE
SURVIVOR'S STORY AND HE BEGINS
THE COVERAGE
FROM ORLANDO.
RICK.
WE HEARD FROM SURVIVORS AND
WE HEARD
FROM DOCTORS.
DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO TREATED
MOST OF THESE WHO -- THOSE WHO
WERE BROUGHT IN
TO THE HOSPITALS.
THE ONES WE SPOKE TO WORK
FOR ORLANDO REGIONAL MEDICAL
CENTER WHICH SAY
FEW BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD FROM
THE "PULSE" NIGHT
CLUB WHERE THE MASSACRE TOOK
PLACE.
THIS IS A
LEVEL ONE TRAUMA CENTER.
THESE PEOPLE TRAIN
FOR EVENTS LIKE THIS.
WHAT THEY SAW ON SUNDAY
MORNING WAS BEYOND ANYTHING
THEY HAD EVER
IMAGINED.
DOCTORS AT ORLANDO
REGIONAL MEDICAL
CENTER REALIZED QUICKLY THEY
WERE GOING TO NEED
BACK-UP AFTER SUNDAY MORNING'S
MASS SHOOTING.
I SAID THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
THIS IS
NOT A JOKE.
WE HAVE 20-PLUS GUNSHOT WOUNDS
COMING HERE.
I NEED YOU HERE AS FAST AS I
CAN.
EVERY TIME, THE ANSWER THAT I
GOT WAS I'LL BE
RIGHT THERE.
I REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHAT
TO EXPECT,
WHAT WE WERE WALKING INTO.
SHE SOON FOUND OUT.
YOU ARE A NURSE.
THIS IS WHAT YOU
TRAINED TO DO.
SERIOUS INJURIES.
I JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE WHO
WOULD DO
SUCH A THING TO SO MANY
INNOCENT PEOPLE PEOPLE.
THE A TRAUMA SURGEON.
THE SECOND ONE
TO ARRIVE.
IT WAS A HORRIBLE SCENE.
I AM NOT
GOING TO LIE.
YOU KIND OF GO INTO SURGEON
MODE, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO
ASSESS AND GET THE
PATIENTS ON TO THE NEXT STEP.
THE BIGGEST
THING IS WHO NEEDED SURGERY
FIRST.
THERE HAVE BEEN REREPORTS
THAT SOME
WERE HIT BY FRIEND HI FIRE.
FIRE.
THAT HAD
BEEN --
WERE YOU ABLE TO HELP HELP
UNDERSTAND
WHICH BULLETS WERE USED?
I BELIEVE SO.
LOOKING AT THE IMAGES AND
THE WOUNDS
WE WERE ABLE TO CLARIFY.
NOBODY SO FAR.
ANGEL SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES
PLAYED DEAD
AFRAID THE TERRORISTS WOULD AIM
HIS WAY AGAIN.
I HEAR HIM COME BACK AND HE
IS
SHOOTING EVERYONE THAT IS
ALREADY DEAD ON THE
FLOOR MAKING SURE THAT THAT.
I WAS ABLE TO PEAK OVER
AND I COULD
JUST SEE HIM SHOOTING EVERYONE.
I COULD HEAR
THE SHOTGUNS CLOSER AND I LOOK
OVER AND HE
SHOOTS THE GIRL NEXT TO ME.
ANGEL'S PHYSICAL WOUNDS
WILL HEAL.
BUT. NOT JUST
THE THEIR INJURIES THAT
THEY'LL RECOVER FROM NOW.
IT WILL FOREVER
CHANGE THEM.
WILL IT FOREVER CHANGE YOU?
I THINK THAT WE WILL ALL
BE FOREVER
CHANGED AND IT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN'T GO
THROUGH AND NOT HAVE IT ASSESS
YOU AND CHANGE
YOU AS A PERSON.
AND YOU COULD HEAR FROM A
LOT OF THE
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, HOW
PERSONALLY MOVED
THEY WERE BY THEIR EXPERIENCES
OVER THE LAST 48
HOURS. WE'RE TOLD THE GRIEF
COUNSELORS HAVE
BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR DOCTORS
OF NURSES.
WHO
TREATED THE PATIENTS THAT CAME
THROUGH THEIR
DOORS.
