#1 Some clubs do have a policy of locking and guarding side entrances to prevent crashers, but that guy keeping everyone in was either an accomplice or a stupidly zealous guard.

More likely the former.

#3 There's always a 2nd (or third or Perp+n) gun person.

#4 Gun shots reverberate, people do stupid things in a panic. Unless the ballistics show multiple shooters, I'd chalk this up to poor interpretation of the events.

#5 "Fifty people were trying to jump over each other trying to exit the place. There was a guy holding the door and not letting us exit."

Let's think about that a minute: 50 people trying to get out, 1 guy holding the door shut.

I know everyone was scared, and rightfully so, but 1 held back 50? You didn't think to pull a Butch Cassidy on him?

#6 Depends on which side of the door he was standing...

#7 I'm with Barbara with this, there's no way they wouldn't have trampled a guy holding the door. Even if the door was locked, there's a good chance the sheer force from multiple people trying to break it would have unhinged the doorframe.

Well, unless the people in Miami have become more helpless to violence than I think they are.

#8 Depends of if the had to push, or pull the door. It's very herd to pull open a door when people are in a panic to get out isn't it?
