Katy and vai, that happened first in 2013. Thats when they first learned about omar mateen. After his coworkers turned him in for making comments allegedly about terrorism. Then, again, they questioned him about a year later about a brief relationship he had with a man who was an american who went to syria and became a suicide bomber. Both of those cases were closed. They said they found no evidence of any direct linkage to terrorism with mateen. Leann, youve been on the ground at the scene for several hours now. Give us an idea of how the atmosphere has maybe changed from late last night to early this morning. Is it as frenetic at the hospital and on the streets as orlando . I would say its not as frenetic as it was. No way. It was a completely different scene. Theres still a lot of activity but not the large crowds there were last night.
