His ex-wife identified him as the man in the Myspace photos. “He was not a stable person,” said the ex-wife, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety in the wake of the mass shooting. The ex-wife said she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and decided to move to Florida and marry him. Police say approximately 50 people have been killed inside a Florida nightclub, and dozens more wounded after a gunman opened fire early Sunday, June 12. The ex-wife she said never had contact with Mateen again despite attempts by him to reach her.
