Yesterday it was reported that an arrest would be made in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting case. Multiple news outlets are reporting that authorities plan to arrest Omar Mateen’s current wife, Noor Zahi Salman, for failing to notify police about the impending attack.
Noor tried to minimize her involvement in the massacre telling federal agents she tried to talk her husband out of carrying out his deadly plans.
But Noor inadvertently dug a deeper hole for herself when she told federal agents that she was with Mateen when he purchased ammunition and a holster for the AR 15 assault rifle and 9mm handgun he bought 2 weeks ago from an Orlando gun dealer.
Noor also admitted she once drove Mateen past Pulse Nightclub so he could scope the club out.
Mateen went on a rampage inside the club early Sunday, killing 49 people and wounding 53. He was killed 3 hours later by a SWAT team.
Orlando police say Mateen paused during the rampage to call 911 and pledge his allegiance to terror group ISIS. He also invoked the names of the Boston bombers.
The couple lived in Fort Pierce, 2 hours south of Orlando. They have a 3-year-old son together.
In related news, Mateen’s former wife and classmates at a Florida police academy claim he had homosexual tendencies.
But so far, the media has not provided any evidence (such as a gay dating app profile) that supports the claims.
