The officers who recount their role in the reports were the initial responders to a call from a fellow officer who was working security as gunman Omar Mateen began firing in the club. Some of those officers entered the club and were later relieved by SWAT team members.
Mateen died in a hail of gunfire after the SWAT team breached a wall in the club.
