The Sheriff's Office released the body-camera video of Deputy Mark Rutkowski as he stands behind a line of other law enforcement officials approaching the club June 12.

Rutkowski is seen walking among backboards lined up on the ground, waiting to take victims to the hospital. He writes about seeing bodies on the floor inside the club, checking them for signs of life and finding none.

In another instance, Rutkowski grabs a man's hand and starts walking him away from the club.

Another deputy asks, "Got anymore?'' and Rutkowski says, "There's a line of them coming out."

Omar Mateen opened fire at Pulse, killing 49 and hurting 53. The gunman, who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State while in the club, was killed in a shootout with police.
