Investigators in the Orlando mass shooting say the killer’s wife knew about his plans for the attack. Federal Bureau of Investigation officials who remain unnamed say the wife of gunman Omar Mateen had some knowledge of her husband’s plans to attack Pulse, a popular gay nightclub. Mateen was shot dead by police Sunday morning after the attack that left 49 people dead and 53 injured. One investigator said the wife, Noor Zahi Salman, also went with her husband on a “reconnaissance” mission to the nightclub between June 5 and 9. Authorities said Salman is cooperating in the investigation and could provide important information about the reasons Mateen might have carried out the attack. According to a law enforcement official quoted by the New York Times, she was also with her husband when he bought ammunition. Investigators found video footage from a store showing the couple buying ammunition together, CBS News reported.
