The killer who murdered more than 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday made bizarre statements in 2013 about terrorism – including trying to force law enforcement to raid his apartment and hurt his family so he could become a martyr. The suspected killer, Omar Mateen, made 'inflammatory and contradictory statements that involved his co-workers' while he was a security guard at a local courthouse, according to FBI director James Comey.
This began a 10-month FBI investigation to determine whether he was a terrorist. 'He said he hoped that law enforcement would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so that he could martyr himself,' Comey said at a press briefing Monday.
