War veteran saves dozens during Orlando nightclub shooting

[grossproffit]

Imran Yousuf, a bouncer at the Pulse nightclub, never saw the gunman in the early Sunday morning hours. Right after last call, he was making his rounds, and barely missed coming face-to-face with Mateen.

Yousuf, a 24-year-old Hindu, served as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan. On Saturday night, the combat zone followed him to Orlando.

He ended up saving dozens of lives.

"The initial one was three or four (shots). That was a shock. Three of four shots go off and you could tell it was a high caliber," he said. "Everyone froze. I'm here in the back and I saw people start pouring into the back hallway, and they just sardine pack everyone."

Yousuf knew just beyond that pack of panicked people -- was a door -- and safety. But someone had to unlatch it.

2. So, he was the guy!

I heard about what he did, but reports were sketchy and some said it was a barrier, not a door.

Imran Yousu, you are a beautiful person and a hero! Thank you for keeping your cool when it mattered. You saved people's lives!!
