The wife of Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen was arrested by the FBI in San Francisco in connection with the mass shooting that left 49 people dead, it has been reported.

Following the Pulse nightclub shooting in June, Salman virtually disappeared from the public eye and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area.

She’s now facing charges of aiding and abetting Mateen, as well as obstruction of justice in the mass shooting—the deadliest in modern U.S. history.

Salman, 30, is slated to make a court appearance in San Francisco on Tuesday, CBS News reported.
