Gunman Omar Mateen made his final stand at an Orlando nightclub, but why did he buy plane tickets to the West Coast — on a flight two days after the shooting?
A federal official confirmed to NBC News Tuesday that Mateen made the purchase for his family to travel to Northern California to visit his ailing mother-in-law. Wife Noor Zahi Salman’s mother recently had an operation and was not getting better, and the family was planning on spending an extended period of time with her.
The tickets were purchased two days before the June 12 attack to travel to San Francisco on June 14 for two weeks. It’s unclear, however, why Mateen would have bought the tickets if he was planning the shooting, only to die in it.

I thought his wife was missing.
She is.
It said at the bottom of the story she is cooperating with investigators.
The government has her sequestered.
But here is the cover story:
