As Omar Mateen swept the interior of Pulse nightclub in Orlando with gunfire, 30-year-old Eddie Justice sought shelter in a bathroom. Somehow, amid the chaos, he was able to text his mother, Mina.
"Mommy I love you. In club they shooting," one message read. About 30 minutes later, he texted: "He's coming. I'm gonna die."
"Still here in bathroom," he wrote at 2:46 a.m. "He has us. They [police] need to come get us."
Early Monday, Justice was confirmed to be among the 50 people killed in the worst mass shooting in modern American history, as city officials began releasing the names and ages of victims whose next of kin had been notified.

Only one armed citizen in that room would have ended that nightmare
ReplyDeleteWhere are all of the comments that blame the police for everything?
ReplyDelete8:02 AM - If this had happened in Salisbury, those people would be blaming the police and local government up one side and down the other.

ReplyDeleteThis was a nightclub where the predominant product being served is alcohol. I learned long ago that alcohol and guns dont mix....not now, not ever. I can not carry my weapon and have had ANY drinks. It is illegal, and foolish to think you should ever do it.
Where was the armed security? Why were the exit doors locked?
My prayers are for the families and friends that lost children, siblings on Saturday night through this senseless killing.
