Orlando gunman practiced killing at gun range before the attack

New evidence shows that Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people in the gay nightclub, was himself gay

Newsroom June 14 09:37

Mass murdering terrorist Omar Mateen was seen at St. Lucie Shooting Center range practicing with his newly bought weapons just two days before the massacre at Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando.

“He was really blasting it,” revealed a man practicing next to him at the St. Lucie Shooting Center range, as Daily Mail Online reports.

“He was shooting pretty hard and the cables holding the target came down — whether that was bad aim or a ricochet I don’t know.

“All I know is he was really loud. I had my ear protectors on and still jumped.”

Moreover, new evidence shows that Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people in the gay nightclub, was himself gay.

Mateen’s horrifying attack on Pulse nightclub was initially thought to be a homophobic attack rooted in extremist Islamic ideology.

However, his first wife, Sitora Yusufiy, and former police academy classmate have said they think Mateen was gay, while it was also revealed that Mateen had visited many times Pulse and was a user of gay dating app Jack’d.

Yusufiy, spoke to a Brazilian TV station on Monday accompanied by her Brazilian fiance, Marcio Dias, Gawker reported.

Speaking Portuguese, he told that Yusufiy told him Mateen had ‘gay tendencies’ and had been called gay in front of her on several occasions by his father.

He also said that she didn’t believe that Mateen’s Islamic beliefs were at the root of his attack.

She had told the FBI that he was unstable, and that she didn’t believe he was part of a terrorist group – despite him pledging allegiance to ISIS before the attack and the terror group later claiming responsibility for it.
