The wife of omar mateen, the man suspected of killing 49 people at an orlando nightclub, says she tried to talk him according to nbc news pete williams, mateens wife drove him to the club on a prior occasion. Pete says authorities are considering filing criminal charges against her for failing to talk to them. 49 people and mateen were killed, more than 50 others hurt, including six who are still in critical condition. Doctors at the hospital where these people are being treated say its possible more of these victims could die. Thank you, kristen. The owner of the shooting center where omar mateen bought the gun is speaking out. He says mateen bought them within the last two weeks and passed the mandated background checks before he picked them up. An evil person came in here and legally purchased two firearms from us. And if he hadnt purchased them from us, im sure he would have gotten them from another local gun store in the area. Authorities say the guns were purchased legally, as you just atf agents conducted a compliance inspection on the business monday. The owner says he passed without any problems. The gun mateen used is an ar15. Its an assault weapon. Its been used repeatedly in Mass Shootings on u. S. Soil in recent years. While its the countrys most popular rifle, to critics its a weapon of war. To owners, theyre fun, versatile, and accurate. If they hadnt had an ar15, they would have found some other way. They were terrorists looking for people to kill as many people as they could before they went down themselves. From a Law Enforcement perspective, from somebody thats been a cop for 40 years, i think wed be safer if those kinds of weapons were not so readily available. The National Shooting Sports Foundation estimates the number of assault rifles in the u. S. Has soared to more than 8 million. Legislation to restrict gun sales have gone nowhere.
