ORLANDO, Fla. -- It has been hours since Mina Justice last heard from her 30-year-old son, Eddie, who was inside the Orlando nightclub when bullets rang out early Sunday morning. He texted her at 2:06 a.m., saying, "Mommy I love you."

Eddie texted her again, saying there was a shooter at the club. He told her to call police and said he was hiding in a bathroom with other partygoers.

"He's coming," he wrote. "I'm gonna die."

"The next text said: 'He has us, and he's in here with us,'" Justice said in an interview with The Associated Press. "That was the last conversation."

She hasn't heard from her son since.
