On June 12, 2016, what began as an active shooter incident when a lone gunman entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and began shooting innocent club goers transitioned into a barricaded-suspect-with-hostages incident. The night was horrific, and by morning the Pulse tragedy had become the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since September 11, 2001. Ultimately at least one out of every three people in Pulse was either wounded or killed, and one hundred two innocent people had been shot: 49 of them killed, 53 injured.
As the scene at Pulse unfolded law enforcement was faced with many monumental tasks. Among them was collecting, processing, and swiftly taking appropriate action in response to information.
At 3:25 am, as victims were actively being evaluated and resuscitated at Orlando Regional Medical Center, a report was issued indicating that gunfire had been heard in the emergency room lobby. The hospital’s “code silver†active shooter plan was implemented and heavily armed police officers and sheriff’s deputies rapidly arrived and began combing the hospital for possible threats. Staff closed doors and remained in place while continuing to provide patient care, as portable X-ray machines were used to barricade the trauma resuscitation room doors and prevent entry.
Initial reports stated that one of the victims that had been transferred to the hospital was in fact a second shooter at the club. This allegation was later determined to be false, but the report led to an incredibly tense scene at the hospital. But finally, approximately 45 minutes after it began, the code silver alert and lockdown were lifted.
This body-worn camera footage shows the manhunt for the non-existent second shooter, beginning just before the report of his existence came over the radio and ending with the “capture” of a terrifically unlucky Pulse victim and the stand-down of responding officers.
Of note, many physicians and nurses continued to move from room to room of the emergency department during the lockdown, caring for patients despite the risk of personal injury.
(Yes, Officer Davis’s positioning of his body-worn camera is clearly less than ideal. It is what it is.)

The view from this body camera is not much good. It's all staring at either the floor or the butt of his rifle.
I'll never forget that day of the shooting
Is that day that my parents and I were going to Universal studios and we woke up with this news
And it was same day that the voice winner got kill not same day that pulse nightclub shooting it was her concert
Gun and Floor POG?
Back the blue 👮ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ‘®ðŸ¾â€â™‚ï¸
I would really like to know where the shots fired call came from. They Really waisted good time on this in the event of an active shooter. They ended up chasing the blood trail of a victim. Good response good communication good tactics. Bad call over the radio. Especially if you know how close this hospital is to the hood and downtown Orlando. IF YOU LISTEN THE ORIGINAL CALL SAID " SHOTS FIRED IN THE area OF ORMC" not AT ormc. Love our guys but dammit man. That really could have been a distraction from something else
Scary day for OPD.
HOLY SHIT! at 7:00 they say "No one is a victim, everyone is a suspect." Let that sink in, in a HOSPITAL. Sure if they see a dude with a gun, hes a suspect. But EVERYONE? Wrong attitude. Despite how stressful the situation is you need to be way more clear headed then that.
Where is the leader? Everyone was just making their own plan. I get its stressful and sudden but what the actual fuck. they stormed the hospitol, no staff confirmed gunshots and they all just started running around, chasing security guards, and aiming rifles. These people need to get some training so they will be better prepared for this kind of situation. Better yet, Hire former military as police before anyone else.
What a mess.
"There's blood on the floor" Umm, Ok
Dessert Storm ass rifle… get some optics
Listen to them though no fun idea
Camera placement is kinda useless, maybe that’s done on purpose I dunno
Why are you people so upset that they responded to shots fired reports?
Interesting to see how this cop has apparently figured out how to obscure the view of his camera to the point where the evidentiary value of any footage is virtually non-existent.
It was on the news that this was just a drill by accident.
Always use stairs, not elevators. It could have been an ambush on the other side of those doors. 🤦â€â™‚ï¸
What a mess. And that cop needs to fix his cam. All he was doing was pointing it down to his rifle / floor. Too many chiefs… to few indians. Everyone giving directions, no one doing anything.
We had to get the officer with the fd up camera ugh
If you're going to get shot, what better place than a hospital.
You can't logically think when your "hyped up". In proper training your given training and tools to keep your cool, hence keep your head in the game..
are they just trying to get into the office of Snipes to collect the voter ballots ?
just to update the description for accuracy's sake, it isn't Oakland Regional medical center, it's Orlando Regional Medical Center
all the footage of the rifle stock and floor is really useful
I see a Magpul Magazine Coupler on the officers CarbineðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠GREAT Choice……
ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Police are still dealing with a mass shooting then are told of another one at a nearby hospital and you wonder why they are so on edge? Really? Are the people commenting THAT dense or do they really think they have any clue?
Does anyone else think it's really f'ed up and unprofessional how the officers are treating people? Yelling and screaming at people. I get it's a tense situation but how does being hot-headed help?
Love these videos, ty!!
A Muslim walks into a gay bar, the bartender ask" what will it be sweetie" the Muslim replys " Shots for everybody!"
Weird how the first officer talking to his fellow officer is saying the exact things you say to them AFTER a officer involved shooting occurs, yet they have yet to engage.
🇵🇷😞
