According to the article the officer arrived within minutes and was quickly determined to be in the bathroom area.
Have any details been released which tells us where all victims (both injured and murdered) standing when struck by bullets? In the club itself vs the bathroom, specifically.
From the reports released, the muzzie shot about 200 rounds. Over 100 people were hit, many multiple times, some with as many as 12 gunshot wounds.
The numbers just do not add up that the perp shot all these people.
I thought I had read that there were thirty trapped in two bathrooms with the killer and that all but one had been killed. This was a very early report so may not be accurate.
I read in multiple sources that 30 people were killed in the bathroom. A large group that couldn’t make it outside took refuge there. When the police entered, Mateen retreated to the same bathroom. If what I read is correct, there were 31 hostages in there already. Mateen shot them all, and one survived.
That was an early report, and I haven’t seen exact confirmation. The below quote appears to corroborate it, however. At the time of the reference to “approximately 30 hostages,” the police were inside the club, and the only remaining hostages were in the bathroom.
‘Several explosives and an armoured vehicle were used to break through a wall of the nightclub and rescue approximately 30 hostages. The suspect was shot by a police officer during this intervention.’

That wasn’t the best source. Here’s a better one:
‘The only person to escape from the carnage inside a Orlando gay club’s bathroom has spoken out for the first time. Norman Casiano, 26, was shot in the back four times by shooter Omar Mateen as he hid in the restroom with around thirty other people. Casiano revealed how the crazed laughed as he slaughtered his victims.
Norman only survived because he managed to climb over his friends’ dead bodies to safety…’
