Thank you. I had looked on the FBI website who at the time I looked had not changed or updated anything. So many places and entities to keep track of.
The way that story is told, he shot into the stalls then asked if anyone was AA. Sounds like an afterthought.
Do you think,this is true?

Ugh. I wonder why the change in announcing the name? I imagine now some other nutball will have to honor him with an even bigger killing.

The FBI launched an investigation into Mateen after Sheriff's Office officials reported the incident to the agency. As part of its investigation, the FBI examined Mateen's travel history, phone records, acquaintances and even planted a confidential informant in the courthouse to "lure Omar into some kind of act and Omar did not bite," Mascara said. The FBI concluded Mateen was not a threat after that, Mascara said.
Their web servers? They didn't stop broadcasting via scanner apps. I was alerted to unusually high traffic on Orlando Fire around 3 am and didn't turn the scanner off until after 7 am.
Argh, you beat me to it! LOL! I came up with the same article as likely being the source. It was written June 15. Of course, some are having a field day with it.Backtracking the roots of that piece:

My understanding is that it is fairly common for federal investigators to use that method (among other tools) when trying to assess a potential terror threat.
Hello all. This is such a horrific story; I admit I have not read all posts. You can only take this a little at a time. I have a couple of questions, maybe someone here can answer, or maybe they have been already answered, and someone can point me in the direction. I am in no way indication any victims are responsible for anything that happened in that nightclub. I am just wondering, when the shooter went in the bathroom, why didn't someone unlock the door that he allegedly locked. Also, what was happening in the club proper while the shooter was in the bathroom; did people escape at that time? In what area of the club was he holding hostages? All of the club-goers could not have been in front of the shooter at all times; I am wondering why one or more did not give each other some kind of eye contact and jump him, or hit him over the head with a chair, bottle, anything? He couldn't possibly see everyone at once. These are just things I haven been pondering. I am sure during the chaos, it must have been difficult to have a cohesive thought. I was once at a carnival, where a few men came in convertibles, and just began shooting randomly. It was beyond one of the most frightening things I have ever been present at. Everyone panicked; people were running on top of each other, and no one knew where to go. The man I was with wanted to go in the bathroom, but I said, "no, we are totally at his mercy if he decides to come in here, or even open the door." We eventually ran into a large field, and laid down, and I ended up with the worst case of poison ivy ever. However, that was the best possible alternative at the time. I can only imagine the panic of these poor people, who only wanted to go out for a night of fun.
Thanks to all, for all of the great comments and thoughts. I would appreciate it if anyone has any insight into my questions. And, thank you Websleuth owner, Tricia, for providing us these great forums, which are more up-to-date than the news; I come here first when anything is happening because I know I will get the latest and best coverage from fellow members.

I think that investigators figured out that he was full of BS. He was all over the map, and his so-called associations were incongruous. And he hadn't actively partaken in what they consider domestic or international terrorism. I JUST wish that one of his wives had reported his domestic violence....but Dad would bail him out, and wife would be in great danger. First one was at least smart enough to ditch the marriage. JMO
