A 24-year-old Marine, who served in Afghanistan, is being hailed as a hero for helping scores of people escape from an Orlando club targeted by a terrorist who killed 49 people in the deadliest shooting in the US history.
Imran Yousuf, a bouncer at the Pulse nightclub, heard the gunfire break out early Sunday morning.
“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,” Yousuf, a former sergeant who just left the Marine Corps last month, told CBS News.
That’s when his Marine Corps training kicked in, he said.
