Donald trump and republican critics who play the fiery messages ahead. And we have just received word of an active investigation into exactly how much the shooters wife knew about his murderous plan. We have that, also a Major Development today on the killers motives. We are hearing reports that not only did he visit the pulse nightclub often but a Law Enforcement official says he cased out Disney Springs, that is on disney world property, one week before this nightclub shooting. We have all of that for you. Lets bring in our cnn justice correspondent pamela brown on the investigation angle. Pamela, lets begin with this killers wife. I know that she is being cooperative with authorities. The question has to be, what did she know . Absolutely. And thats what investigators are trying to figure out, brooke. We know that she has been talking to them. Shes been giving some helpful information, particularly of some of the places that this gunman visited prior to the attack and right now investigators are trying to see if theres a case to be made that she had prior knowledge of the attack and she didnt come forward to authorities. That is really what the focus is right now. And of course, as she knew about this and didnt come forward, that would be a crime. She could be charged if they can prove that. Thats very much a focus right now. Interviews with her continue today. So, of course, well be keeping an eye on that and learning more about the movements of this shooter in the hours and did days leading up to the attack. In fact, the day of weve learned that he spent several hours at this area called Disney Springs. Its about 20 minutes away from the nightclub. Unclear what he was doing there but early june around the time he was buying the weapons he also visited this Disney Springs area. And including pulse nightclub. So investigators believe that during this time he was casing, he was trying to scout out his potential targets. It gives you an idea, brooke, this was not a spur of the moment decision. He was trying to figure out what his target would ultimately be. Brooke . Pamela brown, thank you for now. Anderson, to you at the hospital. Thanks very much. An extraordinary moment a short time ago. President obama and Hillary Clinton talking, holding two separate events in separate locations with one clear agenda. Firing back at donald trump over their refusal to blame the massacre on, quote, radical islam. Heres what they said. For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against isil is to criticize this administration and me more not using the phrase radical islam. Thats the key they tell us. We cant beat isil unless we call them radical islamists. What exactly would using this label accomplish . Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. This is a political distraction. Not once has an adviser of mine said, man, if we really use that phrase, well turn this whole thing around. Not once. If we fall into the trap of painting all muslims with a broad brush and imply that we are at war with an entire religion then we are doing the terrorist work for them. We now have proposals from the Presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States to bar all muslims from emigrating to america. We hear language that singles out immigrants. And suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence. Where does this stop . This is a country founded on basic freedoms. Including freedom of religion. We dont have religious tests here. Our founders, our constitution, our bill of rights are clear about that. If we ever abandon those values, we would not only make it a lot easier to radicalize people here and around the world, but we would have betrayed the very things we are trying to protect. Donald trump wants to be our next commander in chief. Yesterday morning just one day after the massacre he went on tv and suggested that president obama is on the side of the terrorists. Now, just think about that for a second. Even in a time of divided politics this is way beyond anything that should be said by someone running for president of the United States. Well, thats the politics. I want to bring in the Florida Attorney general to talk about whats happening here on the ground. Theres a lot you cant talk about in the investigation. I wont press you about that. Youre meeting with family members and youre concerned of scams, victims families being scammed. Yes. We have great americans out there who want to donate and watching this on tv. Theyre seeing you give the names of these victims and people want to help and want to give. But please, go to a legitimate Disaster Relief organization. Right now, we dont know whats legitimate and whats not. Hundreds of websites popping up. Hundreds. Youre worried about fake ones. Hundreds, hundreds. So please, also our legitimate Disaster Relief ones, some of the scam artists will change a letter in the name and come up with that. So people who think theyre helping all of these victims and families are, in fact, helping scammers. Please dont stop giving to the public but just be vigilant in how you do it. I saw you the other day saying that anyone who attacks the Lgbt Community, our Lgbt Community you said will be gone after to the full extent of the law. Thats right. I talked to people here not fans of yours and said that they thought you were being a hypocrite, that you for years have fought you basically gone after gay people, said that in court that gay people simply by fighting for Marriage Equality for trying to do harm to the people of florida. To induce public harm, i believe was the term you used in court. Do you really think youre a champion of the Gay Community . Let me tell you. When i was sworn in as attorney general, i put my hand on the bible and sworn to uphold the constitution of the state of florida. Thats not a law. That was voted in to our state constitution by the voters of florida. Thats what i was defending. Had nothing to do ive never said i dont like gay people. But you did do you worry about using language accusing gay people of doing harm to the people of florida when doesnt that send a message to people who might have bad ideas in mind . Anderson, i dont believe gay people but you argued that in court. My lawyer argued a case defending what the Supreme Court allowed the voters to put in our state constitution. You were arguing that gay marriage, if there was gay marriage, samesex marriage, that would do harm to the people of florida. Florida signed it. It was constitutional to put it in the constitution. Are you saying you did not believe it would do harm to florida . Of course not, of course not. Gay i never said that. Those words never came out of my mouth. Thats what you were arguing in court. No. No. What we argued was it was in the constitution of the state of florida. Let me give you an example. Medical marijuana. A 12yearold could get it if it passed. We took that to the Supreme Court because of that language, hold on. If that passed, i would defend that, as well, because its my job to defend whats in the constitution of the state of florida. Thats what it was about. The hotline that youve been talking about on television which allows family members and spouses of the dead to get information, which is incredibly important, appreciate you talking about on the air, had there been no gay marriage, no samesex marriage, you do realize that spouses, there would be no spouses, that boyfriends and girlfriends of the dead would not be able to get information and would not be able to visit in the hospital here. Isnt there a sick irony in that . Let me take it a step further. People arent right now who are partners and arent married officially arent able to get information so were trying to assist them in getting information. Because early on isnt there a sick irony you for years were fighting that very idea . I was defending the constitution of what over 69 of the voters put in the constitution. But the courts, the federal courts said thats not the constitution and you continued to fight it. No. Thats why we rushed to get it to the u. S. Supreme court because we needed there was a federal judge and you continued to fight it after the federal judge ruled and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting it. We rushed to get it to the Supreme Court. You know what today is about . Human beings. Todays about victims. It is about gay and lbz victims. It is. Lgbt victims. Is it hypocritical to portray yourself as a champion of the Gay Community when im just reflecting what gay people told me they dont see you as this. I i dont portray myself as anything but trying to help people who have lost their lives and who have family members who arent gettinging the services they need. This prning, you know what ive been doing . Trying to fight with a funeral home for overcharging family members. Sickening. To bury the loved ones. Im not championing anything other than floridians. We are about human beings. Right. This is about victims who need help. This is about family members who need services. Its just that i will say i have never really seen you talk about gays and lesbians and transgender people in a positive way until now. I read your twitter history for a last year and you were tweeting about, you know, National Dog Month and National Shelter dog Appreciation Day or adopt a shelter dog day. It is gay pride month. You never tweeted about gay pride month. We have hands clasped together of the people. You put that up now. After the horrible tragedy, absolutely. The only thing im championing is human beings whose lives Wandy Rodriguez again, im telling you what people have been telling me to ask you, moving forward, do you see yourself as being a vocal champion for gay and lesbian citizens in the state . Theyre citizens just like anyone else. Of course. My goodness, anderson, we have had 49 people murdered. Simply because they were in a bar at the wrong time. Right. Thats right. Im a career prosecutor. Those family members are devastated. These surviving victims are devastated. Thats what this is about. I know a lot of gay and lesbian people in the state want to feel that the people that represent them, represent everybody in the state. Were human beings and thats what this is about. I appreciate you talking to us. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks for all youre doing on behalf of the victims. Thank you. Were now hearing from survivors of this attack, some of them from inside the hospital, 27 victims are still in the hospital. At least six remain in intensive care and also hearing heartbreaking aspiring stories from the staff on duty that night and as the attorney general was just talking about, the idea that anybody could be scammed right now is shocking. Well continue the follow up with her about her efforts to make sure that is not happening in this state. A chilling account of a survivor we have coming upshot multiple times as the gunman went on the sickening rampage through the club. Take a listen. Out of nowhere, we just hear a big shotgun. We just we stop what were doing and then it just keeps going. That happened and we just grabbed each other and started running and unfortunately i was shot about three times in the leg and i had fallen down. I tried to get back up. But everyone started running everywhere. I got trampled over. I shattered and broke the bones on my left leg. So by this time, i couldnt walk at all. All i could do was lay down while everyone was running on top of me trying to get to where they had to be. And all i could hear was the shotgun. One after another. People screaming, people yelling for help. By this time, this man, he goes into the other room. And i can just hear more shotguns going on. I thought i was a little safe at this time because, you know, its giving everyone time to tackle him down or get him down. But unfortunately i hear him come back and hes shooting everyone thats already dead on the floor, making sure theyre dead. I was able to peek over and i can just see him shooting at everyone. And i can hear the shotguns closer and i look over and he shoots the girl next to me. And im just laying down. Im thinking, im next. Im dead. So i dont know how but by the glory of god he shoots towards my head but it hits my hand and then he shoots me again and it hits the side of my hip. I had no reaction. I was just prepared to just stay there laying down so he wont know that im alive. We quickly got about five patients and that was a lot for us and we thought maybe that was going to be it and then they started lining up in the hallway. They werent being brought in by ambulances. There was no paramedics coming in and giving us a report and dropping them off. They were being dropped off in truckloads and ambulance loads. Im looking up and some cops which i wish i can remember his face or his name because im to this day im grateful for him. He looks at me. He makes sure that im alive. And he grabs my hand and he is like the only way i can take you out. Im like, please carry me because im in pain right now. Described somewhat of what you would think of a war scene. Trauma bay was very full. We had patients in every corner. The difficulty in this case there was really no advance notice at all because of the proximity. That was great for the patients them being close. But it made it very difficult for the medical staff and the nursing staff to take care of these patients because they essentially were showing up without any notification at all and we really didnt know what their injuries were until they were brought into the trauma bay. The way that you guys have taken care of us, in this hospital is amazing. If it wasnt for you guys, i definitely would not be here. Every morning, in the middle of the night, afternoon, you guys are always there. I really appreciate that. And i would love you guys forever for doing that for me. I want to bring in cnns chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta who was at the News Conference today and inside the hospital talking to the staff about responding to this incredible, horrific event. I mean, it is the work they have been doing is just extraordinary. You know, they train and they drill for this sort of thing all the time but i think as everyone said and you heard it, it is hard to prepare for Something Like this. Part of it is getting people to come in from the community, people who werent on call coming in to help out. People from the Childrens Hospital coming in to help out with the adults that were in here, as well. All that needed to happen. They had 44 patients as you heard, many of the patients had multiple wounds, as well. Right. Anderson, i think we were talking about this last night. Theesz types of bullets entering the body they tend to spin and ar15 enters clean and then spins inside and goes in a straight direction and wipes out what its causes a lot of damage inside and looks harmless almost entry wound but it can enter the lower abdomen on the right side and end up in the upper left lung and all of that needed to happen. Also, just to give you an example, a single patient has needed four separate operations. One minute they can seem stable and then decline. Has needed 90 yunits of blood. You can imagine 44 patients around the same time. 20 or 25 first then and a hostage situation and a lull. Doctors didnt know was that it, more patients coming . They didnt have any information. People brought in in the back of pickup trucks. Yeah. You have a paramedic calling ahead with a heads up. Were coming and heres the injuries to be ready. Patients need they werent getting any of that. None of that. That part you can really have a hard Time Training for. They set a remarkable thing today and that is that they believe that very optimistic about the remaining patients now in the hospital. Remember right afterwards they thought the death toll would continue to increase and it has not. Good news in all of this. Thank you so much for that report. Brooke, back to you. Anderson, sanjay, thank you both so much. Coming up next here on cnn, speaking with a hero from that horrific night here at the pulse nightclub here in orlando. A club goer waited.
