Well, they got close enough to know he had some kind of "device" on him. Then, they supposedly secured the area and brought in the bomb sniffing dogs.

It was also being reported the shooter was "not from the area". There are some reports that the shooter held hostages and a hostage negotiator was brought in. And info could have been ascertained during the course of negotiations.

Of course if you are into conspiracy theories, add to it this was reportedly a latino club and I'm sure one can find a way to link it to Trump.

Or, we can just wait and see what the final "facts" end up being and then tear it apart.
