One of the survivors of the Orlando gay club massacre barely escaped with his life. Janiel Gonzalez says a man slammed an outside door to Pulse Nightclub blocking the exit and trapping at least 50 people in a narrow hallway.
“Fifty people were trying to jump over each other trying to exit the place. There was a guy holding the door and not letting us exit. He’s like ‘Stay inside, stay inside.’
As he is saying that, the shooter keeps getting closer and closer and the sound of the bullets is getting closer.”
Gonzalez added: “Everyone starts to panic. People are getting trampled. We’re shouting ‘Let us out, let us out!'”
Luis Burbano admitted he was the man behind the door that night. He defended his cowardly actions, saying he thought he was doing the right thing by shutting the door.

AP a few times, and I would be fine with him getting jailed. He said he heard people knocking on the door and he was hoping those weren't people wanting to get out.
