FBI Arrest Pulse Nightclub Killer's Wife



Yesterday, the feds arrested Noor Salman, the wife of Omar Mateen, the Pulse Nightclub killer. She was charged with obstructing justice.

USA Today reports
The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the case, told USA TODAY Salman will likely face her first court appearance Tuesday. The charge could indicate that authorities believe she knew more about Mateen’s plan than she has previously admitted. CBS News said Salman also faces a charge of aiding and abetting.

Salman, in interviews with federal investigators after the shooting, allegedly acknowledged driving Mateen to the Pulse nightclub at least once before her husband launched the assault. But she told the Times in November she was unaware of his true intentions until he sent her a 4 a.m. text message the night of the shooting, asking whether she had seen what happened on the news.

Pulse holds 'Latin Night' Block Party


They can't hold us down!

The owners of the Pulse nightclub will hold a block party or rather a "Latin Night" street party tonight.

The party will take place a couple of miles away from Pulse, and there will be performers, dancers and surprises. I'm glad to see the community coming together and standing strong! The energy of Pulse will keep going and I'm so here for it!

Orlando nightclub shooting is now the deadliest Mass shooting in the country

Fam...

Early this morning and Orlando, there was a mass shooting at a gay bar called Pulse. The shooter killed 50 people and at least 53 were wounded before the SWAT team killed the gunman.

This incident started around 2:20 AM. Later, people were sending messages on Facebook and Twitter to get out of the building. According to the people who were at the club, there was a lot of blood everywhere. It was unbelievable! There are so many messages from folks who were there. It's so... It's a lot to take in.

The shooter was Omar Mateen.

Omar is Muslim, so you know how people will spend this as a terrorist attack. However, his father says that it had nothing to do with his religion. He just did not like seeing two men kissing. His family apologizes for his actions.

This is horrible news it's just… I really have no words. This just happen within our community, during the month of pride. There is going to be so much racist, anti-Islamic chatter about this entire incident. Yes, there are people that still hate who we are and fear who we are, but we have to be strong now. Sadly, this may not be the last time we face this type of hate.

This is now being called the deadliest Mass shooting and our country's history.
