This is the first I have seen that 4 armed LEO confronted him from the start.

Sounds like gungrabber BS made up after the fact.

An off-duty police officer working at the club Sunday night was investigating an underage drinker outside when he heard gunshots inside, according to the law enforcement source. The off-duty officer ran inside the club and traded gunfire with Mateen, backed up soon by three other police officers, the source said.

The officers fired at Mateen, who retreated into a bathroom toward the rear of the club.

“Those additional officers made entry while the suspect was shooting,” Mina said. “They forced him to stop shooting and retreat to the bathroom where we believe he had several hostages.”

Why do we NEVER get this from the MSM?!?!?!?! Silly facts; I HATE it when they get in the way of a nice story......

BTW, I wonder how many lives were saved because of those "off-duty officers" who apparently had some big bad guns on their person.

Most of us will never know or be told of this......

...and THAT is a crime....

And he still managed to kill 49? Something ain’t right.

No kidding since that hasn’t been part of the story at all. There was an off duty cop and maybe two patrol guys who engaged as he was trying to edit building.....maybe Mateen wanted to hit Pulse run away, enjoy his fame, and attack again another dy
