In a moment, a powerful message for us all. , 8drw last evening we saw the people of orlando express their grief for souls they never met. It wasnt just support for the Gay Community or the latin community, it was empathy for humanity which we thought was expressed best today by survivor dimitrius knowlings. I want you to know and america to know that my friend died not in vain. He died for a purpose. He died for a purpose for me to speak on his behalf to speak on all of those people that died, in tragic, it wasnt just gay, it wasnt a gay hate crime. This was hate on people.

Not just gay people. We were never a disease or abomb nation. We are human. We wanted to be accepted. We were in our safe comfort zone. This was some where we could be us. There is no judgment when you enter in somewhere, youre safe in. Thats like your home. How you go home at night, and i dont know if you have kids or not, but when you go home you make sure you tell them that you love them. Because, scott, i wouldnt hope that never happens to you that you have to get that phone call from their friend to tell you that they dont know where your son is. And to hear his mother say, tell me he okay. Because if he is with you he got to be okay. It struck us that dimitrius and survivor, angel santiago said that the nightclub was a safe zone for gay people. In 2016 it seems there are no safe zones for anyone. Not a nightclub, not a movie theater, not a church, not a school. But hope remains, orlando now looks to the symbol of the Lgbt Community, the rainbow, which always shines brightest after the rain. And thats the overnight news for this wednesday. For some of you the news continues, for others, check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and cbs this morning. Reporting tonight from orlando, im scott pelley. Welcome to the cbs overnight news. We are learning more about the home grown terrorist who unleashed the worst mass shooting in u. S. History. 49 people were killed and dozens more were wounded when omar mateen opened fire inside the packed pulse nightclub in orlando sunday morning. It has been reported that mateen had a hatred of gay people. But those who frequented pulse say mateen was a regular there. Often seen buying drinks and asking other men to dance. The fbi is also investigating reports that mateen used a gay dating app on his phone. He was married twice. The first wife said he was abusive. And the second was questioned by the fbi over reports she visited the pulse nightclub with the killer. Mateen had been under fbi surveillance twice. While working as an Armed Security guard. But it turns out the fbi never contacted the Security Company employing him. Jeff pegues has more. Reporter omar mateen worked for g4s. Cbs news learned that it was mateen who alerted his company about the fbi investigation. But it is not clear what he divulged. The company did not know about the second fbi inquiry into their employee which was to determine the extent of his ties to a suicide bomber. Officials confirm omar mateen worked as Armed Security guard at the saint lucy main courthouse prior to 2014. Cbs news has learned that there is no evidence to suggest that the fbi contacted his employer, g4s. When investigators began looking into complaints from coworkers in 2013. According to the fbi he was boasting of family connected to al qaeda. And that he was a member of hezbollah. Fbi director james comey says he also expressed a desire to die. He said he hoped law enforce. Would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so he could martyr himself. Reporter investigations with wiretaps and informants and interviewed mateen twice. But he was cleared. In 2014 his name resurfaced into an investigation into an american suicide bomber in syria. That man and mateen went to the same florida mosque. Again. Mateen was cleared. But the investigation into the mass shooting reveals he had indeed become inspired over the years by extremist ideology. We are highly confident this killer was radicalized. And at least in some part through the internet. Now that the fbi has his cell phones and computer they can track who he was talking to and what he was reading. Law enforcement sources say there is evidence he may have researched disney world as a possible target. Ultimately he chose the pulse nightclub. Just over a week before the attack he purchased the sixhour mcx Assault Rifle then a glock 17 june 5th. Gun store owner ed henson says mateen had multiple security licenses. He hadnt purchased them from us i am sure he would have gotten them from another local gun store in the area. Reporter the fbi will conduct a review of its actions in 2013 and 2014. Agent working on the current investigation have mateens samsung cell phone, Law Enforcement sources say theyre not facing encryption roadblocks as they did in the San Bernardino terrorism investigation. Of the more than 300 people in the pulse nightclub sunday morning, 102 were shot. 53 survived. Many thanks to the tireless efforts of a group of dedicated surgeons. Scott pelley has their story. Reporter 44 gunshot victims came into the emergency room virtually all at once. Nine of those patients died. But every patient that made it to surgery has survived. They brought the first patient in. Then they brought another patient in. They brought another patient in. They said there were possibly 20 more gunshot wound patients coming in. In the vast array of things like in a military setting. We had gunshot wound to the chest, abdomen, extremities, most fairly severe because of the high velocity projectiles. What do you moon ean by that . This was an Assault Rifle. A military weapon. So the bullets have a lot more energy off to them. A lot more speed. And so they cause more tissue injury. There were patients that were in pain. There were patients that were crying. There is an individual who required multiple operations in the same 24hour time period because of active ongoing bleeding. But you saved them . We did, yeah. Things like that. When people come in, dying in front of you. And theyre able to, to wake up. And their families are smiling. Its its pretty amazing. We had hundreds of families members in the lb ye lobby of t hospital. Clamoring to know how their loved one was. And what struck many of us was just the devastation to these families in not knowing for hours and hours, because so many of the victims were still inside the club. I was trying to put myself in their position. Just not knowing if their loved one was in the hospital or if their loved one was still at the nightclub. You know, i just want to say that i am proud that we were there to be there for them. And its its very humbling. Maybe of those who survived owe their lives to a former United States marine who was working security at the club. Here is mark strassmann. I know the gunman is in there. High can hear him coming back with the shots. He had been working security at the club for less than a month when mayhem exploded early sunday morning. He must have literally walked in as i walked to the back staff hallway. Thats when the shots went off. Shots go off. How many . Three, four shots go off. You can tell, high caliber. No way a pistol or something else. Then i saw people start pouring into the, back, back staff hallway. And they just, started to impact everyone. He could see a lifesaving option beyond the crouched panicky people. Two doors. One led back into the club. The other, led out. To safety. But someone, anyone had to unlatch it. A bullet is going to go through the door or he is coming through. There is no other choice. Either i am going to die right now with everyone else or get somebody out. I am screaming, everybody, shots kept going off. Screaming open the door. Open the door. And no one is moving. Because, theyre scared. I jumped over. Opened the latch. We got everyone that we can out of there. How many people went through the door . Probably over 60, 70. As soon as people found out the door was open kept pouring out. Once he got safely outside. Yusef, him in the gray tank top. Carried the wounded to waiting ambulances. Stay calm. Have to stay calm. His call under fire came in uniform. The 24yearold is also a former marine. He says his instincts came from six years in the corps and a tour in afghanistan. When the day comes you are going to see what you are made of. I think i reacted the best i could. Too many people died, but you saved a lot of folks. I wish i could save more. To be honest. Theres theres a lot of people that are dead. babies crying narrator life. Dishes. Death. slurping dishes. Every dish, every time, only finish has the powerball to take on anything. Illuminates skin with pearl optics science. Your concert style might show your age, your skin never will.

Donald trumps repeated calls to ban muslims from entering the United States was denounced again by both Hillary Clinton and Republican House speaker paul ryan. President obama jumped into the fray. Pointing out that the United States was founded on freedom of religion. Nancy cordes reports. Trump and clintons responses could not have been more different. One proposed banning assault weapons. The other proposed banning muslim immigrants. One argued the u. S. Made gains against isis in the past few months. The other said the president was intentionally going easy on terrorists. Implying its because he sympathizes with them. I cant define it. Nobody knows what is going on. Nobody knows why he doesnt have more anger. In interview after interview, monday, trump argued the that was mistearously ignoring isis. True, he has more anger twor meeds than is me than isis. I dont know there is something going on. For years, trump claimed the president was a secret muslim born outside the u. S. What is clear if you take a look at the president s record it speaks for itself. That record includes a lot of dead terrorists. Reporter the Washington Post examined trumps comments but he didnt like the headline. So trump announced he was banning the nations fourth Largest National newspaper from covering his events. If i get in there it is going to change. And it is going to change quickly. Reporter in New Hampshire trump are gaudgued a tell pour is the only way. They enslave women and they murder gays. I dont want them in the country. And he sought pay back. Bringing her up 18 times. Clinton wants to allow radical islamic terrorists to pour into our country. In total denial. She supports so much of out whiz wrong. Clinton didnt mention trump in her address in cleveland but was clearly targeting his proposals. Inflammatory, antimuslim rhetoric hurts the vast majority of muslims who love freedom and hate terror. She vowed to crack down on terrorist recruiting and propaganda online and reach out to muslims in the u. S. We should be intensifying contacts in those communities, not scapegoating or isolating them. [ applause ] trumps ousting of the Washington Post puts the paper in good company. Outlets like buzzfeed, politico and the Huffington Post have been partially or banned from trump events. In a statement, the post executive editor called trumps move a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press. And this morning, the post Editorial Board adds if this is his inclination now, imagine how he might wield the powers of the presidency. President obama had harsh words for both donald trump and republicans in congress who he claims only talk about being tough on terrorism. The president said there are several ways to combat home grown terrorists. One, is to keep people who are put on the terrorist no fly list from buying guns. Another is to reinstate the ban on assault weapons. And, he was just getting warmed up. For a while now the main con trip bugs con contribution of some of those on the other side of the aisle, is t
