The footage shows people fleeing the scene as the gunman commits the atrocity that killed 58 people—the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The footage was released alongside 500 911 calls that give an insight into the panic at the scene of the crime. One man is heard calling to tell the 911 center to “send everyone!
