The wife of the gunman who launched a deadly rampage in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, may end up facing charges in connection to what is now the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. It was immediately unclear what those charges could be, but an NBC News journalist tweeted that Noor Zahi Salman is “being considered for charges.
Salman, as identified by the New York Post, was seen early Tuesday morning at the home she formerly shared with Omar Mateen gathering her belongings and shielding her face from cameras. While there have been reports that Mateen was physically abusive toward his first wife, the status of Salman’s relationship with her legal husband was not immediately clear.
Mateen’s ex-wife also said he was “mentally unstable” and possibly gay, the Dallas Morning News reported.
