The Orlando shooter’s wife claims she tried to stop the Pulse Nightclub attack that killed 50 people.
According to NBC News, Omar Mateen’s current wife, Noor, told the FBI that she tried to talk her husband out of attacking Pulse, the gay nightclub where he killed 49 people.
She said she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster, NBC News reports, and once drove him to the nightclub so he could monitor the building.
From NBC News:
Authorities are considering filing criminal charges against Noor for failing to tell them what she knew before the brutal attack, law enforcement officials say, but no decision has been made.
She is cooperating with investigators, several officials say.
In addition, news reports have revealed that Mateen had at various points declared allegiance to several terrorist groups including, al-Qaeda, Hezbollah and ISIS – all of which are fighting against each other in the Middle East, which further complicates the motives of Omar Mateen.
This news comes after Omar Mateen’s ex-wife, several Pulse Nightclub regulars and Gay dating app users have revealed that he was gay.
