asshole Trump just said the shooter was born in Afghanistan....he was born in NY!
Who was Omar Mateen?
Mateen, 29, was born in New York to Afghan immigrants described by one family friend as loving, close-knit and "very respectful" of America. His clan ended up in Florida, where he attended Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, a two-hour drive south of Orlando. He graduated with an associate of science degree in criminal justice technology in 2006, and later got a job as a private security guard. He was fascinated with law enforcement, people who knew him said.
He was married twice, and was the father of a 3-year-old boy.
One of his jobs was at the St. Lucie County Courthouse — as a private security officer, not as a member of the county Sheriff's Department, officials said. He worked security at PGA Village in Port Saint Lucie, where Aurelia Kennedy, a frequent visitor, became friendly with him. She told NBC News that Mateen decorated his car with a Marine-themed license plate and stickers, which led her to mistakenly believe he was a Marine.
He was friendly, she said, but seemed more withdrawn in recent days, she said.
Did Mateen have a criminal record?
Mateen does not appear to have any criminal convictions. But in recent years he attracted authorities' attention.
