It was unclear when the gunman shot the victims. A hostage situation quickly developed, and three hours later a squad of officers entered the club and shot dead the gunman. Javer Antonetti, 53, told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper that he was near the back of the dance club when he heard gunfire. It was the second deadly shooting at an Orlando night spot in as many nights. "It was one after another after another after another," Christopher Hansen told CNN, describing the gunfire inside the club.
