  • FBI says they have not ruled out terrorism as a motive.
  • According to the Huffington Post, the father of the suspected gunman says his son was not driven by religious ideology, but instead a gay kiss he witnessed between two men in Miami a few months ago.
  • Mateen was previously married. His ex-wife told The Washington Post that he was abusive during their marriage.
