Ivory Mcneal was at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida when a gunman killed six of his friends in the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history.
His husband Jack contacted the BBC from the UK and told us Ivory's story.
"We spoke on the phone whilst he hid behind a palm tree. I heard gun shots for 5 to 10 minutes. I'm still in shock."
