A policeman who was one of the first to respond to last year’s Pulse Nightclub massacre in Florida is being dismissed, just six months away from being eligible for his full pension.

Cpl. Omar Delgado of the Eatonville Police Department claims his department made the decision because a doctor diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder, meaning he couldn’t return to full duty.
