ORLANDO, FL -- The chaos, confusion and horror of what transpired in the deadly assault at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, was further revealed in the moment-by-moment police narrative, made public today pursuant to a public records request from ABC News and other media outlets.



Today's disclosure includes the police dispatch record, which provides a play-by-play of the June 12 mass shooting, from the first call reporting "shots fired" to the "subject down" notification three hours later.



The first call came at 2:02:54 a.m. for "shots fired." Seconds later, "shots still being fired."
