ORLANDO, Fla. – One of the victims injured in the Halloween mass shooting in downtown Orlando has been released from the hospital.

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

“I’m lucky to be alive, I still pray for the families affected; this has changed their lives so much,” Berry said. “I’m grateful to still be here, grateful to others who made it, and sorry to those who didn’t.”

Berry, whose gunshot wound was covered with a headscarf, is still recovering both physically and emotionally.

“It’s like a daily reminder to still keep going and go after my goals,” Berry said. “So this isn’t going to stop anything I want to do in life.”

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

Orlando police said the shooting was caught on camera. A single shot was fired at 1:07 a.m. at the intersection of Orange Boulevard and Central Boulevard. This is where Tyrek Hill was declared dead. Four minutes later, at 1:11 a.m., new gunshots were heard at Orange Boulevard and Washington Street. Seven more people were shot there, including Tim Schmidt Jr., who was later pronounced dead at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

OPD said the other six shooting victims survived but were taken to the hospital along with another victim who was crushed under the panicking crowd.

Minutes after the clashes, Edgar was captured and taken into custody. Detectives found nine shell casings and a 9MM handgun at the scene.

Edgar reportedly told officers he found the gun earlier that day and that he was affected by the deaths of multiple loved ones and was having problems due to the stress he was under.

Edgar, 17, is now being charged as an adult.

“You threw away your life, man,” Berry said. “There’s no excuse for things like this.”

Berry said he hopes for justice, but until then he is focused on his future. She is studying to become an EMT and eventually wants to be a nurse. Berry said this experience made his life goal of entering the medical field even more important.
