Orlando Shooter texted his wife during mass shooting

The Orlando Shooter wanted to know if he had made the news yet, so when his wife texted him asking him where he was, he responded by asking her if she had seen what’s happening:

FOX NEWS – In the midst of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, Omar Mateen texted his wife to ask her if she had seen news about the attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, according to multiple reports.

The existence of the messages were first reported by CNN. NBC, citing a source close to Mateen’s wife, Noor Salman, reported that Mateen’s mother called Salman at around 2 a.m. Sunday to ask if she knew where Mateen was. Salman responded that she did not. After hanging up, Salman texted Mateen, “Where are you?” at around 2:30 a.m.

Mateen reportedly responded, “Do you see what’s happening?” When Salman answered, “No?”, Mateen texted back, “I love you, babe.”

After that, Salman reportedly told federal investigators that she tried to call Mateen multiple times, but he did not answer. NBC reported that Salman was told details of the attack by local police after they surrounded the house the couple shared in Port St. Lucie.

Meanwhile it looks like the wife of the Orlando Shooter has gone missing and her Afghan pro-Taliban father isn’t saying where she is:

At a Fort Pierce home where members of the Mateen family were believed to have gathered inside, Seddique Mateen — father of the Orlando massacre shooter Omar Mateen — said Wednesday morning that Omar’s wife Noor Salman was “no longer here” and that she was no longer in the area. He would not say where she had gone.

Reporters were outside the house again Wednesday after also gathering there Tuesday.

At about noon, St. Lucie County sheriff’s deputies arrived, went into the house for a few minutes, then left. The deputies who came and went did not comment.

Seddique Mateen, who also has been giving media interviews from his Port St. Lucie home, asked reporters to leave the Fort Pierce house and said Noor Mateen was not inside. He alluded to other family members being there, but didn’t say who was inside.

Police will find her. It’s only a matter of time.
