ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The Orange County Sheriff's Office has released body camera footage from Orlando law enforcement officers responding to the Pulse nightclub massacre. Officials released about two dozen videos, some of which show the bathroom where gunman Omar Mateen barricaded himself. Others show what was occurring outside.

The videos were edited so as not to show bodies.
As officers moved through the nightclub in attemps to save hostages and give aid to those injured, the sound of victims' cellphones repeatedly ringing disrupt the silence, one video shows.
"Is that yours?" one deputy asked someone next to him, who replied: "It's not mine."
On June 12, 49 people were slain at the LGBT club by Mateen, who was killed by police.
Another video shows a frenzied scene after a SWAT team blasted through the wall of the building to rescue victims. In the video, several people ran outside of the club, which caused a panic for some law enforcement as they were unable to identify if the gunman was within the crowd.
"Did they clear everyone out?" an officer in a video asks. "They clear everyone out? Hold up, what's going on?... No way everyone is dead in there."
"What kind of [expletive] up person would do this?" one officer asks.
