The terrified son who sent his mother texts telling her he was ‘in the
bathroom’ and ‘I’m gonna die’ as the gunman opened fire inside Pulse
nightclub, has died. Eddie Justice was trapped in a nightclub bathroom
when he contacted his mother Mina for the last time in a series of
messages.
The City of Orlando has now confirmed he was one of the 50 party-goers
who were shot dead by Islamic extremist Omar Mateen on Sunday morning.
Eddie, who worked as an accountant, ran into the bathroom to escape
Mateen but he and a group were cornered. He asked Mina to call police as
she arrived outside the Orlando gay nightclub in a desperate attempt to
find her son.
Eddie then told her ‘I’m gonna die’ as Mateen discovered where he was hiding and took him and other hostages.
‘Mommy I love you. In the club they shooting,’ a text from Eddie Justice to his mother read.
‘U ok,’ she responded before her son wrote back ‘trapped in bathroom.’
