I have seen on Twitter rumblings about more than one arrest. His wife is not co-operating and there is chatter she will be arrested as well.

“He did say he had a vest and he did talk about putting vests on the hostages,” said Canty. Mina said they used explosives to create an escape hatch. “We had to use a Bearcat; broke a hole through the wall, a 3-foot hole. People came running out, and then the gunman came out and we returned fire and killed him,” said Mina.

The owner of the St. Lucie Shooting Center where Omar Mateen purchased weapons days before he massacred 49 people in Orlando, said that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “did not shut us down today. We decided to shut the doors so ATF could complete the investigation.” "I'm just sorry he picked my place. I wish he picked no place," said owner Edward Henson.

Investigators said Mateen purchased a rifle and a handgun from the St. Lucie Shooting Center days before he carried out the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. “He passed a background check,” said Henson.

Wounded Knee was the greatest mass shooting in US history.....not Orlando.
