911 Tapes In Orlando Shooting Show Chaos, Panic

 

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A man wounded in last week's Orlando office shooting frantically told an emergency dispatcher to hurry because he worried the gunman would return, 911 tapes released by police Tuesday show.

The unnamed caller whispered he had been shot in the leg and was afraid to stay on the phone after the gunman opened fire inside the engineering firm of Reynolds, Smith and Hills, killing one person and injuring five others.

"I'm shot in the leg ... I'm sorry. Hurry please," the man whispered to a police dispatcher. "I can't stay on the phone, he may come back."

Another man told a dispatcher he recognized the shooter as a former employee and breathlessly said there were about 40 people in the office when four to five shots were fired. A female caller said she was in the parking garage tending to two wounded men, one of them in bad shape. One man can be heard groaning "We've got to get out of here."

Four other 911 calls were also released Tuesday. One from a woman outside reported people running from the building saying someone was inside shooting. A UPS delivery man told a dispatcher he walked into the office and saw a man lying on the floor and blood on the door handle.
