What Exactly DID the Shooter’s Wife Know?

A US Attorney has plans to bring evidence against Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen’s wife, Noor Salman, to determine whether to bring charges against her. More evidence is needed to present to a grand jury, so it could take time.

So far, California-born Salman, 30, has admitted to investigators that she knew of plans to commit an attack, but didn’t know specifics. She initially said she didn’t know he was going to carry out the attack when he left the house Saturday, but backtracked in a subsequent interview, saying she had her suspicions it would happen at Pulse after he left.

noorsShe told investigators that she knew “for awhile” that Mateen was going to commit a violent act, stating he’d been talking about it for months, perhaps years. 

She never once notified police. 

It’s still be speculated which charges could be pending against her but, depending on her level of complicity, they could include the intentional concealing of knowledge of a felony, aiding and abetting a crime, or conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. 

Salman has a 3-year-old son from her 2011 marriage with Mateen.

This is a developing story. More as news is reported.
