Orlando Shooter's ‘Inflammatory Comments’ Caught FBI Attention

Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen made “inflammatory comments” when he worked a security detail at a Florida county courthouse, which gained the FBI’s attention, authorities said Tuesday.

St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said the remarks — the substance of which was not disclosed — prompted the FBI in early 2013 to investigate him for the first time. The comments also led to his permanent transfer out of the courthouse.
