The surveillance footage taken from inside the Orlando nightclub shooting that left 49 people dead shows the suspect, Omar Mateen, firing shots at people who were already wounded, law enforcement officials who viewed the evidence said in a report.
One anonymous official, speaking with the Washington Post, said the video shows that Mateen, 29, “was making sure anybody who was shot was dead.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
At the outset, Mateen quickly emptied his magazine and reloaded, firing 30 rounds at a time---which is consistent with what witnesses said of the shooting. The officials said he opened fire on wounded people who were in front of him.
