I'm Former NYPD: Here's Why I Suspect There Was More Than One Shooter In Orlando

#6  People didn't run out the exits because one 'hero' (if he is to be believed) blocked the door thinking he was keeping the killer inside and ignored the pounding of everyone trying to get out.

That and the natural instinct is to get down and hide which is suicidal in such situations when you should literally fight or flight depending upon your proximity to the shooter.

#5  The off duty policeman hired as a security guard exchanged fire with Mr. Mateen, as did the first police officers to arrive on the scene. This is separate from any possible additional bad guys.

#4  Similar thing happened in the Aurora, CO theater shooting. All the initial reports had multiple shooters, which made sense because otherwise why didn't people just run out the exits? And the death toll in Orlando is hard to credit to just one guy.

#3  I think there was at least one other shooter and the ballistics report won't see the light of day until after November 2nd.

#2  Ballistics will tell.

#1  Sorry, but I'm loathe to consider anyone from NYPD an expert in anything, especially shoot. Okay okay, maybe donut eating and coffee laced with booze drinking. He also makes no mention of the fact that the bullets likely passed through several people and when firing at a packed mass like he was, missing is going to be pretty hard.
