Orlando Shooter Told Police 'I Did The Shootings'

The man who gunned down 49 people in an Orlando gay nightclub praised God and told authorities, "I did the shootings," before hanging up.


Omar Mateen called 911 at least several times during the attack, which also wounded dozens. In the calls, transcripts of which were released by the FBI on Monday, he also claimed there was a vehicle outside the nightclub with explosives in it.

Mateen called the Orlando Police Department from the bathroom, where several people took coverage after gunshots went off early June 12th. Faced with both an active shooter and a hostage situation, authorities held off on confronting the suspect, attempting to still him with negotiation tactics. 


Authorities said that Mateen spoke to police "in a chilling calm and deliberate manner." 


Once Mateen threatened to use explosives, however, police began an intervention, rescuing hostages through a hole in the bathroom wall and ultimately fatally shooting him. 


Orlando Police Chief John Mina said that he believes eight people were saved during the hostage rescue attempts.


The FBI will not be releasing 911 calls of any of the victims out of respect for their families.
