Orlando Shooter and Wife Exchanged Texts During Massacre

Date:

Read the text messages between the Orlando shooter and his wife.

Orlando Shooter, Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub Sunday sent a text message to his wife during the rampage, asking “do you see what’s happening?”  a source close to the family told NBC News on Thursday.

The source told NBC News said that Mateen’s mother called Noor Zahi Salman, Omar Mateen’s wife, called at around 2 a.m. Sunday, waking her up and asking if she knew where Mateen was.

Salman said she did not know, and texted her husband: “Where are you?” the source said.

Mateen responded: “Do you see what’s happening?”

Salman replied “No?” according to the source.

Mateen then responded “I love you, babe.”

A federal law enforcement official confirmed that Mateen and his wife exchanged text messages at around 2:30 a.m. Afterward, she repeatedly tried to call him on his cell phone, the official said.

Salmand was told what happened at 4 a.m., when police called Salman and told her to come out of the home she shared with Mateen with her hands up.
