Good morning. It's Wednesday, June 22. A police officer who responded to the Pulse shooting said he and fellow officers followed orders to hold their position for what he described as "15 or 20 minutes — could've been longer" until the SWAT team arrived.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch visited Orlando to meet with victims, first responders and investigators who are leading the probe and offered $1 million to help cover local overtime costs.
