Despite the allegations about the club owners, the police found no evidence that the Pomas acted 'with a reckless disregard for human life,' and 'they could not have reasonably foreseen or anticipated a terrorist incident taking place at Pulse,' investigators wrote in a report.Investigators also noted that the absence of building plans did not hinder the rescue operations and that it was impossible to verify the number of people present in the club on the night of the tragedy.
