UPDATE: It’s now being reported there were 50 fatalities and 53 people who were injured.

A Florida LBGT club was just recently subject to gunfire, with the gunman barricading themselves in the building with multiple hostages. Orlando police said the shooting had resulted in “multiple injuries” and urged people to stay away from the area. Local reports suggested as many as 20 people could have been injured in the attack, and video footage shared on social media showed a high police presence around the club.

One man who claimed he was inside the club said people were “screaming that people are dead”. “They are just pulling people out in stretchers loading them up,” he said. “Please god let everyone make it – tonight was supposed to be a fun night!! One more minute and we would of been shot or worse.”

Pulse is a club based in Orlando, and was hosting its Latino night to an attendance of 100 when the shots were fired. It’s Facebook page advised people to flee quickly from the danger.

“We just heard shots, it was less than a minute, it felt longer,” Ricardo Negron said. “There was a brief pause and we just ran. Everybody was just faces to the floor. I had someone over me, I really didn’t see [how many gunmen there were]. All I can tell you was the club was packed, there were over 100 people there.”
