ORLANDO, Fla. – One of the victims injured in a Halloween mass shooting in downtown Orlando is out of the hospital.

Anthony Berry said he was happy to be home and back with his family after the traumatic experience.

“I am lucky to be alive, I still pray for those families who were also affected; it changed their lives a lot,” Berry said. “I’m grateful I’m still here, grateful for the others who made it and sorry for those who can’t.”

With the bullet wound covered by a scarf, Berry is still recovering — physically and emotionally.

“It’s still like a daily reminder to keep going, to chase my goals,” Berry said. “So it’s not going to stop anything I want to do in life.”

An estimated 75,000 people were in the city center when the alleged gunman, Jaylen Edgar, opened fire, according to the state attorney’s office.

Orlando police said the shootings were caught on camera. At 1:07 a.m., a single shot was fired near the intersection of Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard. Tyrek Hill was pronounced dead there. Four minutes later, at 1:11 a.m., additional gunfire was heard at Orange Avenue and Washington Street. Seven others were shot there, including Tim Schmidt Jr., who was later pronounced dead at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

The six other shooting victims survived but were also taken to the hospital — along with another victim who was trampled by the panicked crowd, OPD said.

Minutes after the shootings, Edgar was attacked and taken into custody. Detectives recovered nine bullet casings from the scene and a 9mm handgun.

Reports show Edgar told officers he found the gun earlier that day and said he had been affected by numerous deaths of loved ones and had problems due to the stress he was under.

Edgar, 17, is now charged as an adult.

“You threw your life away, man,” Berry said. “There is no excuse for such things.”

Berry said he hopes for justice, but until then, he’s focused on his future. He is learning to be an EMT and eventually wants to become a nurse. Berry said that experience made her life goal of entering the medical field all the more important.
