The wife of the Pulse nightclub shooter allegedly knew about the attack before it happened and apologized for not alerting authorities beforehand, according to a recently released statement she wrote to the FBI.

In her 12-page statement dated June 12, 2016, Noor Salman said that her husband, Omar Mateen, looked at jihadist websites “almost every day,” starting about two years before the attack, and that they had driven around Orlando scoping out places.
