This is office the officers helmet. We know that it was worn by a member of the Orlando Police department during a shootout that killed the gunman. That helmet is now being credited with saving that officers life. Its been an agonizing 24plus hours for the victims family members. The city of orlando is only releasing the names once those families are notified. This morning, there are still as kendis mentioned, many of those families waiting for answers. Abcs amy robach shows us more about those we know were lost. And some who survived. Reporter for most of the day, only numbers. 50 dead. 53 injured. But there are the names and the faces to go along with stories of so many people who ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. These names now included on the official death toll. Kim morris, 37 years old. Luis omar ocasiocapo, 20 years old. And juan ramon guerrero, 22yearold, who was there with his boyfriend. Dozens more lucky enough to survive, rodney sumter, a bartender at the club, a father of two. Josh mcgill who stopped to help him. I kinda grabbed him and pulled him over to me and he was like, hey, man, i think i got shot. I took off my shirt, i said, i got to stop the bleeding. I tide the first gunshot wound around his arm with my shirt. Reporter julian just out of the hospital, she was on the dance floor when the gunman opened fire, trampled as she tried to escape. Her friend helping triage victims. I was okay beside bumps and bruises. My only instinct was to help everybody else around me. Reporter but there are countless others still unaccounted for like jeff rodriguez. He sent his brother a text from the chaos saying he was bleeding. Last text said i got shot, im bleeding out, i think im dying. I love you guys. And were starting to hear from those who managed to survive this attack as well. Some of those eyewitnesses recounted the horror to our david muir. People jumping over you people were trying to jump over me pushing my head down. Its a state of panic. We just wanted to get out. We saw people screaming and falling, there was blood everywhere. About 15, 20 people got shoved into a oneperson bathroom. Thought a terrorist passed him in the bathroom. Was your instinct to hit the ground . I just wanted to get as close to the floor as i could. And crawl to safety. I heard more gunshots and kind of dodged and ducked and hid behind a suv. When i got to him and noticed he had been shot once on each arm and later on his shoulder, i let him know im here, ill do whatever i can. Now, the support for the victims was immediate around orlando as the call went out for blood donors as well. Yeah, in fact, one blood bank look at the scene here estimated as many 700 potential donors were lined up around the block. Some people were turned away to come back today or tomorrow. Many others were unable to donate because of federal rules that prevent gays from donating blood. In new york city, though, there was quite a tribute at the stonewall inn, the site of the 1969 riots that led to the gay rights movement. The gay pride parade in los angeles held another tribute as well, starting the event with a moment of silence. Marchers also lit dozens of candles and issued prayers for the victims. Well have much more on this nightclub massacre as new details emerge about the shooter. Hear why he was already on the fbis radar. And why he called 911 during the shooting. And an abc news exclusive. What the shooters father, what he would say if he could talk to his son. Uld talk to his son. When i have an asthma attack. I feel like a fish with no water. Learn how to prevent your childs next asthma attack. Because even one attack is one too many. The scene from new york city, the 408foot spire of one World Trade Center was lit in the colors of the gay pride flag. To honor the victims of the orlando nightclub shooting. The father of the shooter said he doesnt know why his son opened fire in a crowded nightclub, but now he wants to reach out to the victims and their families. He said that he shares their pain and he said his son appeared normal saturday which he said was the last time you saw him. What would you say to him . You said you would ask him why but what else would you say to him . I would say to him, why did he do that . Why did he what he did. Im shocked and surprised and mad what he did. And i didnt raise him that way. He said his son became distressed after seeing two gay men kissing several months ago. He was unaware that his son had purchased those two guns. He also told abc news he didnt think his son was radicalized despite his making a pledge to isis. Yeah, the fbi though had investigated mateens possible ties to terror. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross is following that angle. Reporter mateen was well known to the fbi counterterrorism squad. He was interviewed three times over the last few years. After he allegedly told coworkers we had ties to terrorists. We determined that contact was minimal and did not constitute a substantive relationship. Reporter there were no criminal charges and nothing on his record to block his purchase of the two guns he used in the shooting bought just last week. Legally walk into a gun dealership and buy firearms. Reporter federal authorities said as he was holed up in the orlando nightclub, he called 911. Announced and pledged his allegiance to isis. Reporter the Propaganda News Agency said he was an Islamic State fighter. No indication that the attack was planned by isis. This is likely to be somebody who selfradicalized on the internet and decided what the target was and went to attack it. Reporter mateen was an american citizen who attended high school in stewart, florida. And worked for the last nine years as a Security Guard. Brian ross, abc news, new york. When we come back the president ial candidates weighing in on the shooting. Donald trump, again, asking for a temporary ban on muslims.

True colors shining through thats the Orlando Gay Chorus performing Cyndi Laupers true colors last night, the vigil was one of the many outpouring of love held last night across the country. Meanwhile, investigators are studying the life of the gunman, trying to uncover what drove him to carry out the worst mass shooting in u. S. History. The 29yearold worked as a Security Guard and legally bought at least two firearms in the past week. He had been interviewed by the fbi at least three times in the past on terrorrelated matters but those investigations were closed. The shooting has quickly become part of the president ial campaign. But a tweet from donald trump getting far more attention than what others have said. Abcs lana zak has the story from washington. Reporter in the wake of the orlando massacre, donald trump is doubling down on his proposed ban of muslims into the u. S. Tweeting, i called it and asked for the ban. Trumps response to the shooting, the worst in the america history, has prompted some to charge hes exploiting the tragedy for selfcongrats. Megan mccain was response was cutting. Youre congratulating yourself because 50 people are dead this morning in a horrific tragedy, she wrote. And Clinton Campaign statement, trump put out political attacks, weak platitudes. For her part Hillary Clinton also condemned the attacks and then took on a familiar Campaign Issue gun control. The call for gun control measures was shared by many on the left, including chris murphy of connecticut who represents sandy hook elementary. He wrote, congress has become come police it in these murders by its total uncon shl on these murders. And president who has addressed america 15 times during his presidency on gun violence. To actively do nothing is a decision as well. And as americans were united in grief and outraged and in resolve to defend our people. Reporter the other political debate is swirling around the phrase radical islamic terrorism. Donald trump maintains neither president obama and Hillary Clinton are using that phrase which he says disqualify them from the office. All right, lana, both debates to go on for quite some time. Lana zak live in washington. Law enforcement often says the biggest threat to carry the mass shooting is the lone wolf shooter. We talked about that daunting task with abcs contributor steve gomes. A former fbi special agent in charge of counterterrorism. The fact is theyre probably many more in the counterterrorism arena theyre concerned about, whether theres an investigation or assessment or tips coming through. The fact is, there are only so many people they have available whether its agents. Analysts, Task Force Officers from local Law Enforcement. So, they have to priorityize and they have to allocate the resources appropriately. Thats a very complex situation theyre in, figuring out which of these subjects will require surveillance. So, its a problem. Our thanks to steve gomez. Some other headlines right now. Police in Southern California have arrested a heavily armed man who claimed he was on his way to the l. A. Gay pride parade. At first, the Police Tweeted he intended to do harm. But that was later retracted. They say howell had three assault rivals and ammunition, the indiana man is due in court tomorrow. The nhl season has come to an end, but not before they honored victims of the orlando massacre as well. Fans and players took part in a moment of silence in san jose prior to game six of the stanley cup finals between the sharks and the penguins. As for the game, the penguins came out on top 31 to win the series four games to two. There could be another championship clinched by the bay tonight. Golden state can close out the nba finals at home against cleveland. You can watch game five of the finals tonight right here on abc starting at 9 00 eastern. Coming up, we have more tributes after that shooting in orlando. Plus, remembering the victims as more names are released by authorities. I drive a racecar. I have a driver. His name is carl. But thats not what we all have in common. We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto®. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. To help protect your dog or cat from fleas and ticks. With the performance you expect from a monthly topical in a nongreasy collar. Seresto® kills and repels fleas and ticks for 8 continuous months. Seresto®. From bayer.
